CII REVIEW FOCUSES ON REDUCTION FACTORS AND FORMULA BASIS

The IMO adopted a scheme for a Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) at MEPC76 in June, but discussions are underway that could soften the requirements for particular vessel types or operational profiles.

The discussion around correction factors is relevant for the cruise sector and shuttle tankers, where even the most efficient DP2-class vessels spend a lot of time in dynamic positioning mode.
