In June of 2021, the IMO Marine Environmental Protection Committee (MEPC) held its 76th meeting, where they adopted resolution MEPC.328(76) containing amendments to MARPOL Annex VI concerning mandatory goal-based technical and operational measures to reduce carbon intensity of international shipping. Developed under the framework of the Initial IMO Strategy on Reduction of GHG Emissions from…
The overall energy efficiency of a vessel is determined by the choices made throughout its lifecycle, from the planning and new build phases to the final recycling phase, and is measured by the total amount of energy consumed in relation to a specific output, the total energy or fuel consumed per nautical mile. Improving energy…
