Outcome of MEPC 75 (November 2020): New short-term measures for GHG
Two new short-term measures have been
introduced for all ships (NB and ships in
operation):

1. Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index

(EEXI)

2. Operational carbon
intensity reduction requirements,
based on a new operational Carbon
Intensity Indicator (CII)

Mandatory for each vessel from 2023:

Compliant EEXI value & EEXI Technical File to be EEXI CII
approved by class
Classification Survey (first annual survey) – new
IEEC certificate
Limits/reduction rates Agreed Work in progress

Calculation guidelines Work in progress Work in progress

 EEXI: Effort for approval/survey depends on status of vessel

 +EPL management plan

 +NOx Technical Files of A/E and M/E
 +Lightweight Certificate or Inclining Test Report
 +Trim & Stability Booklet
 +Model Test Report (or equivalent)

 (EEXI Technical File)  + EPL management plan  +Further information which will affect EEXI value

 New IEEC
effort

Effort comparable with effort for prototype of newbuild

series (if not more, depending on quality of
complexity
supplementary documentation)

 Pending adoption by
MEPC 76 in Jun1

Operational measure: Enhanced SEEMP

 Mandatory elements added to the SEEMP
– Measuring a Carbon Intensity Indicator
(CII) (e.g. EEOI, AER)
– Setting a mandatory CII target in line with
IMO ambitions
 Operational: Enhanced SEEMP with mandatory
CII rating scheme (A-E)

 Ships must document the CII and at verification

audits prove that they are compliant with
reduction trajectory towards ~40% in 2030
 Application scope & handling of inferior ships
to be resolved
 Technical guidelines to be developed – these
include definitions, the ship specific reduction
rates and calculation guidelines

Complex final EEXI formula

The attained Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index (EEXI) is a measure of ship's energy efficiency
(g/t*nm) and calculated by the following formula:

Conclusions

 Recommendation: If ship does not comply with required EEXI

→ consider engine power limitation
→ if speed drop with limited power not acceptable
→ check energy efficiency technologies

 Limitation: Engine optimization (e.g. variation of fuel injection time and pressure,
change of fuel valves) not considered in EEXI calculation (test bed
values)
Restrictions to keep NOx Technical File valid

 Outlook: From regulatory side there is the urgent need to review the consideration
of energy efficiency technologies (planned to start in summer 2021)

Summary - EEXI in a nutshell:

 It’s a new statutory requirement
 All cargo and cruise ships above size thresholds on first annual
survey after 1 January 2023 (vessel types according to MARPOL
ANNEX VI Reg. 2)
 EEXI as a goal based measure, different improvement options
possible
 EEXI Technical File has to be submitted to class for approval
 Formular could be become complex depending on vessel type and
technologies installed on board

Actions required: How can DNV GL Maritime Advisory support?

Decide how to achieve the EEXI Key Criteria:  Assessment of options for individual ship to comply with EEXI
target based on your previous
EEXI calculation: requirements (retrofitting ESDs and review of existing hull
 Time of installation forms)
 Propulsion optimizations (e.g.,
DUCT, rudder)  Cost and payback
 Comparison of different improvement solutions with respect
time of improvement
 Engine optimizations to investments, future operation and planned service life
option
 Energy efficiency technologies
 Vessel age  Assessment of alternatives for fleet development
e.g., sail or fuel change
 Speed Loss
 Engine Power Limitation (EPL)  In case of EPL -> speed loss can be calculated
