CO2 is a strong Green House Gas (GHG).
The high amount of CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere
would lead to the global warming of between 1.5ºC and
4.5ºC by the end of 21st Century if we just go as BAU….

Future CO2 emissions:
- Significant increase predicted: 50-250% by
2050 in the absence of regulations
- Technical and operational efficiency
measures can provide significant
improvements but will not be able to
provide total net reductions if demand
continues…………………

8. Background of Energy Efficiency Regulations
 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate change (UNFCCC)
entered into force in 1994.
 Kyoto Protocol (1997), sets binding targets for countries: “to reduce the
overall GHG emissions by at least 5% below existing 1990 levels, in the
commitment period 2008 to 2012."
 IMO Policies and Practices for Reduction of GHG Emissions from Ships,
adopted by Assembly on 23 December 2003

11. Applications of EEDI- Reg. 19
 Apply to
 all new ships ≥ 400 GT
 Building contract placed on/after January 2013;
 In the absence of contract, keel laid after 1 July 2013; or
 The delivery of which is on / after 1 July 2015; or
 In cases of a major conversion of a new or existing ship, on / after 1
January 2013
 Not apply to
 ships sailing entirely within flag state waters
 ships which have:
- diesel-electric propulsion,
- turbine propulsion or
- hybrid propulsion systems.
Except cruise passenger ships and LNG carriers having conventional or non-
conventional propulsion, delivered on or after 1 September 2019. 11

12. Attained EEDI- Reg. 20
Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI)
 It is an index which quantify the amount of CO2 that a ship
emits in relation to the cargo transported.
 The actual EEDI of a vessel is called the “attained EEDI” and is
calculated based on guidelines published by IMO
(Resolution MEPC.245-66).
 Attained EEDI ≤ Required EEDI
 “Attain EEDI” specific to each new ship ……… and be accompanied
by the EEDI Technical File…….
12

13. Required EEDI- Reg. 21
 Required EEDI is the maximum value of attained EEDI that is allowed by
MARPOL Annex 6 Chapter 4 Regulation 21 for the specific ship type & size.
 “Required EEDI” has been determined using reference lines. The method of
calculation of the required EEDI is as follow:
Where, X is the reduction factor
 Reference line value is estimated from EEDI Reference line. These are
calculated based on the below formula:
Reference line = a*b-c
13
Source: IMO MEPC, 63
Required EEDI = (1- X /100) * Reference line value

24. SEEMP Applicability:
(according to Resolution MEPC.203(62))
• All vessels of ≥ 400 GT
• Each vessel to be provided with a ship-specific SEEMP not
later than the first intermediate or renewal survey (whichever is
first) on or after 1 January 2013.
• The administration or RO will check that the SEEMP is onboard
and subsequently issue the International Energy Efficiency
Certificate (IEEC).
• PSC inspection is limited to verifying if there is a valid
IEEC on board.

25. SEEMP – Reg. 22
 A SEEMP provides:
- A possible approach for improving ship and fleet
energy efficiency over time; and
- Some options to be considered for optimizing the
performance of the ship.
 SEEMP purpose
 The purpose of a SEEMP is to establish a mechanism
for a company and/or a ship to improve the energy
efficiency of a ship's operation.
 The SEEMP has to be developed for a specific ship by
IMO guidelines Resolution MEPC.213(63): 2012

IEE Certificate issued when the existence of SEEMP on-board is
verified.

29. Masters should optimize route
planning to avoid high storm or wave
frequency and maximize calm sea
state taking into consideration:
- The effects of ocean current and
tides
- The effects of weather systems
- The crew safety and comfort, based
on trade and route,
Voyage routes can be charted with
the use of Rhumb Lines and / or the
Great Circle methodology

30. Just in Time/ Virtual Arrival (JIT)
– A known delay at the
discharge port;
– Whenever an opportunity
exists, the operator requests
permission from Charterers to
reduce speed;
– A mutual agreement
between the stakeholders.
Other parties may be
involved in the decision
making process, such as
terminals, cargo receivers
and commercial interests.
As a whole, JIT can save upto 40% in
fuel use as well as CO2 emission on a
simple voyage……..

31. Ship and voyage performance analysers
Ship and voyage performance analyzer:
 There are systems that can
routinely measure ship speed,
shaft propulsion power and
environmental conditions. These
systems could be used for
monitoring various aspects of ship
and voyage performance.
 They could also help to identify
reasons for poor performance,
deviations in speed and so on.

32. Slow Steaming
 Reducing the ship speed an
effective way to cut energy
consumption.
 The energy saving calculated
here is for an equal distance
travelled.
Reduction in ship speed vs. saving
in total energy consumption:
 0.5 kn –> – 7% energy
 1.0 kn –> – 11% energy
 2.0 kn –> – 17% energy
 3.0 kn –> – 23% energy  If the ship speed reduce from 20 to
19knots, fuel consumption will be
reduced by 10% per ton-knot. 32

Engine Performance optimization
 Maintaining good condition of fuel
injection valves, exhaust valves, proper
fuel oil temperature and good quality
fuel can ensure good combustion and
improve energy efficiency of the
engine.
 Reduced sac volume to almost
zero and hence save fuel.
 Ensure complete combustion
and improve fuel efficiency.

35.  De-rating is setting of engine performance to max cylinder pressure at lower than
normal shaft speed, at a point of lower down of propeller curve.
 For existing ship, this can be done by readjustment of fuel injection timing and
resizing the propeller blade.

 Finding the correct
parameters or
preventing unnecessary use
of the rudder gives an
anticipated benefit of 1-5%.

 Providing a pre-swirl to the ship’s
wake by it’s fins which reduces
losses in the propeller’s slipstream
 Increase the propeller thrust and
improve propulsion

38. Bulbous Bow optimization <5%

39. Energy Saving Lighting
• Using lighting that is more electricity and heat efficient
where possible and optimizing the use of lighting reduces
the demand for electricity and air conditioning. This results
in a lower hotel load and hence reduced auxiliary power
demand.
• Results: Fuel consumption saving: Ferry and
Passenger vessel 1~2%

 Maximize D/G load and run minimum number of D/G with safe load.
 All non-essential machineries and equipment must be stopped in port
& at sea to reduce the load on generators.
 Rectify air leakage and minimize compressed air uses.
 Rectify steam leakage and minimize steam uses and avoid running
the boiler continuously.
 Try to start & use the machineries JUST IN TIME.
Load Optimization on Generators
40

41. Energy Saving Operation Awareness
 Crew Awareness may be increased through the use of appropriate
Energy Savings Checklists, developed based on Best Practices
identified after numerous Energy Audits
 An incentive or bonus scheme can be introduced on fuel savings.
One simple means would be competition between the company’s
vessels.
 Crew training can increase the crew awareness on Energy efficient
operation of ship.
41

42.  Basic expression of the EEOI
 j = Fuel type
 i = Voyage number;
 FCij = Mass of consumed fuel j at voyage i
 CFj = Fuel mass to CO2 mass conversion factor for fuel j
 mcargo = Cargo carried (tonnes) or work done (number of TEU or passengers) or
gross tonnes for passenger ships
 D = Distance in nautical miles corresponding to the cargo
carried or work done.
Calculation of the EEOI - Formula
EEOI = Environmental Cost / Benefit to Society
(measured as grams CO2 / tonnes x nautical mile)
 EEOI = (Emitted CO2)/(Transport Work),
i.e. the ratio of mass of CO2 (M) emitted per unit of transport work.
42

43.  Example (includes a single ballast voyage)
 Unit of EEOI: tonnes CO2/(tons x nautical miles)
Calculation of the EEOI (example)
43

44. For EEOI Calculation
Always remember…………
 For calculation of EEOI, you need to have some cargo transport
(cargo X distance travelled).
So, if no cargo transport, EEOI will become infinity (very large).
Therefore, for anchorage or for ballast voyage, EEOI cannot be
calculated.
 The FPSO and offshore vessels are not moving. If the ship does
not move or the ship has no cargo, then EEOI cannot be
calculated.
44

45. IEE (International Energy Efficiency) Certificate (Reg. 6)
IEEC will be issued when………..
1. For New ship with a Calculated & Varified Attained EEDI, EEDI
Technical File and a verified SEEMP onboard
2. For Existing Ship, with a verified SEEMP and “Record of
Construction related to Energy Efficiency” file
 An IEE Certificate … issued to any
ship ≥ 400 GT
 IEE Certificate shall be valid
throughout the life of the ship if no
major conversion, no transfer of flag or
not withdrawn from service.
