Survey of energy efficiency in shipping


With regards to the youngest short-term greenhouse gas emissions measures agreed at the last meeting of the IMO’s marine environment protection committee, the international trade association Interferry is launching an energy efficiency data survey among its members. Its aim is to ensure that existing ferries can comply with IMO's future regulations.

 

Subject to final approval at next June’s MEPC meeting, by 2023 existing ships must achieve new pre-defined energy efficiency values in an initial step towards the 2030 target of a 40% improvement compared with 2008 values - or lose their licence to operate.

 

Interferry’s survey aims to reconcile the diversity of ferry operations within sector-specific adaptations to the regulatory instrument, the Energy Efficiency Existing Ships Index (EEXI). (cd)
