In line with SDG 13, the IMO has implemented mandatory measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from shipping through MARPOL Annex VI. As a Recognized Organization (RO), BKI helps your fleet be compliant, efficient, and competitive.
Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI)
Energy efficiency standards for new ships ≥ 400 GT, operating at the design stage and during sea trials before publication by the IEEC.
Energy Efficiency eXisting ship Index (EEXI)
Implementation of efficiency principles on existing vessels ≥ 400 GT. Including solutions such as SHAPOLI/EPL and the re-issue of the IEEC.
Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP)
Parts I, II (IMO DCS), and III (CII): planning, fuel consumption data collection, and continuous performance improvement.
Focus on ship design & equipment to meet minimum efficiency levels.
EEDI is pushing for new, more efficient & low-emission vessels for ≥ 400 GT.
Preliminary Verification
EEDI verification at design stage before construction.
Final Verification
Survey during sea trial to confirm EEDI value & IEEC issuance.
EEDI-like principles apply to vessels operating above 400 GT, ensuring the fleet meets climate standards.
Compliance Assessment
Compare Attained vs. Required EEXI; take action if not met.
Countermeasures
Implementation of SHAPOLI/EPL or other solutions, with guidance & approval of BKI.
Verification & Certification
Verification on the first IAPP survey ≥ 1 Jan 2023, then re-issue IEEC.
Management & monitoring of ship operations for continuous performance improvement.
Foundation & Monitoring
Mandatory since 2013 for all ships ≥ 400 GT. Plans to improve ship energy efficiency.
Data collection
For vessels ≥ 5,000 GT. Annual fuel consumption collection & reporting methodology.
Performance & Improvements
Plan to achieve CII (A–E) rating: calculation methodology, 3-year plan, and self-evaluation procedures.
Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII)
Annual A–E ratings based on IMO DCS data: reporting ≤ 3 months; SoC ≤ 5 months; corrective plan if rating E (1 year) or D (3 consecutive years).
BKI provides complete statutory services to ensure every deadline & requirement is met with confidence.
EEDI Technical File Verification (Preliminary & Final)
EEXI Approval & IEEC Re-issuance
SEEMP Agreement Parts I, II, and III
Issuance of Confirmation of Compliance (CoC) for SEEMP
Annual Fuel & SoC Data Verification for IMO DCS
Annual CII calculation & verification
