Annex - Amendments to the 2018 Guidelines on the Method of Calculation of the Attained Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) for New Ships

 This document has been consolidated into Resolution MEPC.308(73)

1 A new section 3 is added, as follows:

• "3 Mandatory Reporting of Attained EEDI Values and Related Information

  3.1 In accordance with regulation 22.3 of MARPOL Annex VI, for each ship subject to regulation 24, the Administration or any organization duly authorized by it shall report the required and attained EEDI values and relevant information taking into account these Guidelines via electronic communication.

  3.2 Information to be reported are as follows:

  • .1 applicable EEDI phase (e.g. Phase 1, Phase 2, etc.);

  • .2 identification number (IMO Secretariat use only);

  • .3 ship type;

  • .4 common commercial size reference^footnote (see Note (3) in appendix 5 to these Guidelines), if available;

  • .5 DWT or GT (as appropriate);

  • .6 year of delivery;

  • .7 required EEDI value;

  • .8 attained EEDI value;

  • .9 dimensional parameters (length L_pp (m), breadth B_s (m), and draught (m));

  • .10 V_ref (knots) and P_ME (kW);

  • .11 use of innovative technologies (4th and 5th terms in the EEDI equation, if applicable);

  • .12 short statement^footnote describing the principal design elements or changes employed to achieve the attained EEDI (as appropriate), if available;

  • .13 type of fuel used in the calculation of the attained EEDI, and for dual-fuel engines, the f_DFgas ratio; and

  • .14 ice class designation (if applicable).

  3.3 The information in paragraph 3.2 is not required to be reported for ships for which the required and attained EEDI values had been already reported to the Organization.

  3.4 A standardized reporting format for Mandatory Reporting of Attained EEDI Values and Related Information is presented in appendix 5."

2 A new appendix 5 is added, as follows:

"APPENDIX 5 - STANDARD FORMAT TO SUBMIT EEDI INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE EEDI DATABASE

Note:

(1) IMO number to be submitted for Secretariat use only.

(2) As defined in regulation 2 of MARPOL Annex VI.

(For containerships, 100% DWT should be provided while 70% of DWT should be used when calculating the EEDI value).

(5) GT should be provided for a cruise passenger ship having non-conventional propulsion as defined in regulations 2.2.11and 2.2.19, respectively, of MARPOL Annex VI.

Both DWT and GT should be provided for a ro-ro cargo ship (vehicle carrier) as defined in regulation 2.2.27 of MARPOL Annex VI.

(6) As defined in paragraph 2.2.13 of the 2018 Guidelines on the method of calculation of the attained Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) for new ships (resolution MEPC.308(73), as amended).

The exact Lpp should be provided. The Secretariat will round the Lpp data up to the nearest 10 when these data are subsequently provided to MEPC.

(7) As defined in paragraph 2.2.16 of the 2018 Guidelines on the method of calculation of the attained Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) for new ships (resolution MEPC.308(73), as amended).

The exact Bs should be provided. The Secretariat will round the Bs data up to the nearest 1 when these data are subsequently provided to MEPC.

(8) As defined in paragraph 2.2.15 of the 2018 Guidelines on the method of calculation of the attained Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) for new ships (resolution MEPC.308(73), as amended).

The exact draught should be provided. The Secretariat will round the draught data up to the nearest 1 when these data are subsequently provided to MEPC.

(9) As defined in paragraph 2.2.2 of the 2018 Guidelines on the method of calculation of the attained Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) for new ships (resolution MEPC.308(73), as amended).

The exact Vref should be provided. The Secretariat will round the Vref data up to the nearest 0.5 when these data are subsequently provided to MEPC.

(10) As defined in paragraph 2.2.5.1 of the 2018 Guidelines on the method of calculation of the attained Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) for new ships (resolution MEPC.308(73), as amended).

The exact PME should be provided. The Secretariat will round the PME data up to the nearest 100 when these data are subsequently provided to MEPC.

(11) As defined in paragraph 2.2.1 of the 2018 Guidelines on the method of calculation of the attained Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) for new ships (resolution MEPC.308(73), as amended) or other (to be stated).

In case of a ship equipped with a dual-fuel engine, type of "primary fuel" should be provided.

(12) As defined in paragraph 2.2.1 of the 2018 Guidelines on the method of calculation of the attained Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) for new ships (resolution MEPC.308(73), as amended), if applicable.
