The requirement to demonstrate operational carbon intensity reduction through the Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) will enter into force alongside the introduction of the Energy Efficiency Existing Ships Index (EEXI). The CII is an efficiency indicator that measures a vessel’s carbon intensity over time. We have collated a number of free resources for our users that cover the requirements of CII, how the calculation works, and what you can do to improve your score.
We've answered a range of key regulatory and technical questions with responses asked during the recent CII webinar. This section is more specific in detail and will provide in-depth understanding alongside the webinar.
