Fuel savings promised by energy efficient technologies may not lead to similar EEXI and CII improvements, experts have warned as shipowners prepare to comply with the new measures, stated the International Chamber of Shipping (ICS) on its website.
Speaking at a webinar organised by ICS, Arcsilea Principal Consultant Edwin Pang noted that fuel efficiency claims made by equipment manufacturers often refer to best case savings on propulsive efficiency only, at a single set of conditions.
Dalian Maritime University Associate Professor Dr Shuang Zhang highlighted “perverse incentives” arising from the current CII metrics.
ICS Technical Director Chris Waddington highlighted key deadlines for shipowners on short-term measures.
