Understanding the Importance of CII Grades
In the maritime industry, the Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) grade holds significant value as the industry transitions towards reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. With the International Maritime Organisation's (IMO) MEPC 80 carbon emission reduction deadlines approaching, ship owners, operators, and charterers are increasingly focused on accurately measuring and improving their vessels' CII grades. As the emphasis shifts from monitoring to actively reducing emissions, achieving a high CII rating, ideally an A rating, becomes paramount for companies operating in the shipping industry.
