It is time for shipowners and charterers to align their vessel operations with the IMO’s Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) Regulations. To navigate the complexities, you can learn the ropes or seek assistance from an expert advisor. Read our most recent post to find out where to begin.
Strategizing Your CII Compliance
To get a quick overview of IMO’s Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) Operations Clause and Rating System.
Marine transportation’s decarbonization is a major global concern, as international shipping’s carbon emissions are expected to rise by 23% by 2035 compared to 2015 levels.
The newly implemented additional CII operations clause has sped up IMO energy-efficiency initiatives. At the conclusion of the calendar year, ship owners and charterers must make sure every vessel engaged in marine transport operations reaches the goal grade efficiency. The critical process of compliance statement reporting will produce the necessary credentials to permit continued international maritime travel and trade.
Would it be wise to put off calculating and determining if your ship’s operational carbon efficiency met standards until the end of the year, then taking corrective action afterward? Adopt the Kaizen business philosophy from Japan. It emphasizes bringing about positive change and continuously enhancing processes to increase efficiency. It is therefore advisable to create a plan for ongoing technical and operational improvements that will assist in achieving the necessary CII ratings.
The Kaizen methodology underscores that small changes NOW can have big future impacts.
Maintaining control over your vessel’s operations throughout the year will help you become more carbon efficient and provide you an advantage over rivals.
The Importance of Continuous Vessel Engine Health Monitoring
The installed power of the main engine and fuel oil consumption are the two key factors used to calculate the vessel’s carbon emissions. As a result, you must optimise the asset health and power performance of your vessels in order to comply with the IMO’s maritime environmental norms and regulations.
Continuous vessel engine condition monitoring will provide crucial data for calculating shipping emissions. Information communicated by the sensors and readings from the running engine gives a clear picture of the operating conditions. Continuous monitoring will indicate changes and allow the analysis of engine performance data. Monitoring the fuel combustion inside the engine will also enable the detection of degradation in engine health if any. Timely maintenance activities are crucial to reduce wear and tear. Proactive engine health monitoring and planned maintenance ensure optimal engine operations. Only by routinely monitoring and maintaining the engine health of the vessel can shipping emissions be controlled.
Maritime Digitalization Technologies to Improve Engine Health and Emissions Control
For continuous engine health monitoring and pollution reduction, shipping 4.0 technologies that integrate with the ship’s existing infrastructure are suitable options.
Owners of ships and charterers must work together. It is the responsibility of ship owners to make investments in maritime digitalization technology that enable sophisticated integrated analytics of engine performance data. Simultaneously, the ship operators should make the most of the implemented technologies and ensure operational efficiency.
Real-time access to crucial maritime data will be made possible via engine digitalization. AI/ML-powered in-depth predictive analytics can forecast the vessel’s GHG emissions and the resulting CII ratings at the end of the transport cycle. Our machine-learning algorithms gain knowledge from the shipping KPIs and offer useful information for enhancing asset health. Process efficiency will undoubtedly rise with real-time data-driven decisions for predictive maintenance of the ship’s engine. Multiple trend studies can also find parameters for lowering fuel oil usage and carbon emissions and disclose hidden outliers.
Dynamic AI can also help with accurate recordkeeping in order to manage and report on CII regulations compliance.
