Decarbonisation of Shipping: Technical Study on the Future of the Ship Energy Efficiency Design Index
This report examines the implementation of the EEDI framework and its effect on ship design and energy efficiency in general. It shows that EEDI, together with market conditions has resulted in substantial improvements in energy efficiency of ships. This has been achieved mainly with more efficient engines, hydrodynamic optimisation and significant uptake of energy saving devices, but uptake of other types of innovative technology has been limited for a number of reasons. Increasing uptake of energy saving devices and innovative technology is not necessarily possible or desirable because different ship types and operating profiles affect the energy saving potential of these devices and technology. EEDI broadly needs to integrate with the CII measure and any upcoming MBM and the role and form of EEDI also needs to be adapted through a period where fuel type and ship design are in transition. As such the timing and reduction rate of Phase 4 should take into account the effect of these other measures. Some minor adjustments and changes are investigated and proposed, however larger scale changes require redrawing of the baselines.
