EEXI just ‘a ticket to the game’
The Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index (EEXI) is just a ticket to the game in improving efficiency, with the real challenge ahead in operational carbon intensity indicator (CII).
Those were the thoughts of a panel of experts at the Global Maritime Club Virtual Forum - Spotlight on EEXI Regulatory Compliance hosted by The Maritime Online Series on July 1.
EEXI and CII are both global regulations aimed at reducing shipping’s carbon intensity. EEXI is a one-off look at the technical or design efficiency of a vessel, while CII will require demonstrable reductions in operational carbon intensity for vessels over 5,000gt from 2023 to 2030.
