Performance benchmarks
Does anyone have performance benchmarks for different types of merchant ships?. Is there anyone out there specialising in this area and if so what is the accepted method (calculation) that you/they are using. I have read that IMO are working on a carbon performance index but not finalised yet. If this info is out there could you please let me know as I am working on a project at the moment and any help would be appreciated.
Many thanks

Hi Shaun,
We have been following the dialog closely. The KPI I have seen most often used is EEOI (Energy Efficiency Operational Index) . The EEOI is giving a view of CO2 emitted for each cargo mile (CO2/nm/CargoTon). For calculating CO2 emissions you need to know your fuel oil consumption and carbon content of the fuel you burn.
A typical range of CO2 index for various shipping sectors can for example be found in an IMO report PREVENTION OF AIR POLLUTION FROM SHIPS Second IMO GHG Study 2009
I hope this is of some help.
NOTE: here Km are used instead of Nm
Regards,
Kristinn
