Developing a Fuel Efficiency Index for Small Sized Marine Vessels
Abstract:International Maritime Organization (IMO) has adopted the energy efficiency design index (EEDI) regulation to limit greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions from medium and large ships. However, small ships, boats and leisure watercrafts with load line length below 24m or deadweight tonnage (DWT) below 2000 DWT are not bound by the EEDI regulation. These small vessels exist in large numbers and there is a great scope to reduce GHG emissions from these watercrafts. This short opinion paper proposes an approach to evalu… Show more
