The IMO amended MARPOL Annex VI at MEPC 76 on June 17, 2021, establishing regulations 23 and 25 – the Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index (EEXI) – and regulation 28 – the mandate to minimize Operational Carbon Intensity through the Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII). The date of implementation will be November 1, 2022.
Impacted vessels must comply by their next annual, intermediate, or renewal survey for the International Air Pollution Prevention Certificate (IAPPC) or the first survey before the ship enters service for the International Energy Efficiency Certificate (IEEC) to be issued, whichever comes first on or after January 1, 2023. Your immediate attention should be on finishing your EEXI and improvement calculations if you have not done so already.
Some shipowners have yet to start the process and may not be completely aware of the implications for their fleet or the reasons for acting swiftly. There is a chance to get ahead of the game and plan for a sustainable future. Short time is left now to achieve compliance. You may need to take several measures. If you do not act soon, your ships may be unable to trade overseas. For more information to comply contact Albion Marine team directly or email at This email address is being protected from spambots.
