Case Study
Background
A major shipping and transportation company operating a fleet of ships for both dry bulk cargo and tankers, was looking to assess the Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index (EEXI) and Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) of its vessels. To accomplish this, they turned to NETSCo with extensive experience in providing EEXI and CII calculations and consulting services.
Challenge
The primary objective of the assessment was to determine the EEXI and CII benchmark calculations of both vessels, which would help the shipowner measure their compliance with the guidelines set forth by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. More specifically, they needed to ensure that the vessels met the required EEXI values before their next International Energy Efficiency Certificate (IEEFC) renewal.
Solution
NETSCo used its EEXI/CII software to perform the calculations and measure the CO2 emissions of their vessels. The software uses a variety of inputs, such as specifications of the vessel, fuel consumption, voyages, and cargo, to perform the calculations and predict each vessel’s emissions. After compiling the data, NETSCo provided the owner with an overview of the vessels’ EEXI and CII benchmark values, along with recommendations for any necessary modifications to ensure compliance with the IMO guidelines.
Conclusion
The EEXI and CII calculations conducted by NETSCO ensured that the vessels met regulatory standards with a future goal of reducing carbon emissions, improving fuel efficiency, and enhancing the bottom line.
NETSCo’s EEXI and CII services provided the shipowner with an in-depth analysis of the vessels’ environmental impact and overall compliance with international standards. The report enabled them to make data-driven decisions to improve efficiency and reduce emissions while maintaining compliance with regulatory requirements. NETSCo was able to provide high-quality and timely services that allowed the owner to achieve its environmental objectives and fulfil its commitment to the industry.
