The International Association of Classification Societies (IACS) has developed a new recommendation in response to to IMO's MEPC.333 (76), MEPC.334 (76), and MEPC.335 (76) to support the implementation of the Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index (EEXI).
IACS Recommendation No. 172 provides additional advice and guidance on certain regulatory elements where cross-industry discussions had identified technical implementation nuances associated with the EEXI framework.
EEXI, which supports the industry in meeting IMO’s greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets, will enter into force via amendments to MARPOL Annex VI that become effective on 01 November 2022, and take effect at the shipboard level from 01 January 2023.
