Classification society issues updated guidance on CII rating improvements for existing tonnage
The guidance sets out operational and technical measures owners can take ahead of the next reporting cycle.
A classification society has published updated guidance for shipowners on improving Carbon Intensity Indicator ratings for existing vessels, covering operational, technical and data-management measures.
The guidance emphasises voyage optimisation, hull and propeller maintenance, and the accurate recording of fuel consumption as the most immediate levers available to operators.
It also reviews energy-saving devices and the treatment of correction factors under current IMO guidelines, noting areas where further regulatory clarification is expected.
Owners with vessels rated D or E for consecutive years are required to submit corrective action plans, and the guidance provides templates and case examples.
Anchor Point Shipping summarises regulatory material for editorial purposes; readers should consult the primary documents for compliance decisions.
