L10 - Ship Energy Efficiency Regulations - Reg.19

Question 1

What is the current IMO regulatory framework when it comes to Ship Energy Efficiency? (IMO GHG STRATEGY)

Answer 1

1. EEDI, 2013
2. CII and CII Rating, 2023
3. EEXI, 2023
4. SEEMP, 2013
5. DCS, 2018

Question 2

What does Regulation 19

Answer 2

Regulation 19 of MARPOL Annex VI outlines requirements related to platforms and drilling rigs, ensuring that these offshore units adhere to similar pollution prevention standards as ships.

Question 3

What are the goals of Regulation 20?

Question 4

Define EEDI

Answer 4

Energy Efficiency Design Index
It is applicable to all ships greater or equal to 400 dwt on international voyages. Not applicable to platforms, drilling rigs.

Question 5

What is the aim of EEDI calculations?

Answer 5

1. to calculate a ship’s energy efficiency
2. to limit and reduce CO2 emissions in phases
3. to obtain the IEEC (International Energy Efficiency Certificate) which is mandatory by MARPOL ANNEX 6

Question 6

What is the difference between attained and required EEDI?

Answer 6

The attained EEDI represents the actual energy efficiency of a specific ship design or vessel, whereas required EEDI represents the energy efficiency standard that a ship must meet based on its size, type, and delivery date.

Question 7

Regulation 24 – Required EEDI

Answer 7

This EEDI is calculated for new ships or ships that went through major conversions in the hull structure or propeller machinery.

Question 8

Reference line

Answer 8

a*b^-c where a and c are constant ship type specifications, and b is DWT

Question 9

Regulation 25 – Required EEXI

Answer 9

In the formula, Y is more stringent than X in EEDI formula to bring old ships at par with the new ships.

Question 10

Regulation 26 - SEEMP

Answer 10

1. Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP) is a ship-specific plan to improve the energy efficiency of a ship
2. Must be approved by admin (flag)
3. It is based on IMO guidelines
4. SEEMP may form a part of a ship’s SMS.

Question 11

SEEMP framework

Answer 11

SEEMP is a management tool to make sure that the ship CO2 emissions are reduced.

1. Planning,
2. Implementation
3. Monitoring
4. Self-evaluation
