Learn all about IMO Tier I-III NOx regulations and how it affects your vessel operations

Most ports have the ambition to become carbon neutral by 2050. This typically excludes vessel emissions and focusses on Scope 1/2 port operations only. A significant portion of ports around the world have signed shore power declarations to ‘deploy shore-side electricity by 2028 where possible’, including all large North Sea ports, Los Angeles, Montreal and all large Japanese ports. Cruise and container vessels are the primary target for most ports’ regulations and EU will start taxing vessels via EU ETS from next year onwards.

Learn all about Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) and how different parameters impact your design.

EU ETS will serve as a carbon tax for the maritime industry. At current price level, it will increase fuel cost by at least €200 - €300 per mT fuel.

The Ship Energy Efficiency Management Procedure (SEEMP) is a - not too stringent - IMO mandated plan to increase energy efficiency and reduce emissions. Learn more about SEEMP and how it impacts your vessel’s operations here.

Learn all about the United Kingdom Monitoring, Reporting and Verification regulatory framework used to determine carbon tax for shipping industry.

The IMO Data Collection System (DCS) is the reporting system for IMO that collects data as part of SEEMP II. Ships above 5000 GT are required to yearly input aggregated data to flag state. Impact on operations is limited. Learn more about IMO DCS here.

The Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan III (SEEMP) is the updated IMO mandated energy efficiency reduction plan. It mandates a carbon reduction, measured by the Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII). 11% Reduction of CO2 is required by 2026, 40% by 2030 and 70% by 2050. Learn more about SEEMP III and how it impacts your vessel’s operations here.

The Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan II (SEEMP II) is the updated version of the first SEEMP. It includes to obligation of vessels of 5000 GT and above to input CO2 data into the IMO Data Collection System (DCS). Learn more about SEEMP II and how it impacts your vessel’s operations here.

ECAs (Emission Control Areas) are sea areas that limit SOx or NOx emissions. Currently there are several ECAs active in North America and Europe. Learn more about ECAs here.

EU MRV is the CO2 reporting system in Europe, used for carbon tax determination. It is applicable to vessels of 5000 GT and above. It is expected to apply to 400 GT and above. Learn more about EU MRV here.

AFIR targets the supply side of marine infrastructure and fuels in the EU, mandating the use of low-carbon fuels and shore power by 2030.

RED targets supply side - production - of fuels in the EU, aiming for a 40% energy share from renewable sources by 2030.

The ETD is the principal taxing scheme used for fossil and low-carbon fuels in EU. Fossil fuels will be taxed more, and renewable low-carbon fuels will receive incentives, including shore power.

ISO 8178 is an international standard for exhaust emission measurement, including marine engine applications. It is used for emission certification and/or type approval testing. Test cycles for marine (main) engines are E1-E5.
