Voyage optimisation can reduce emissions and extend CII compliance
Napa, a maritime software and data analysis firm, and classification society ClassNK have announced the results of a joint study conducted with Marubeni Corporation, which has measured the impact of voyage optimisation on the greenhouse gas emissions and Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) ratings of a real-life fleet. The research found that a vessel’s fuel consumption and CO2 emissions can be reduced by up to 7.3% by using Napa Voyage Optimization. Moreover, the analysis shows that voyage optimisation can improve a vessel’s CII by an average of 5 to 6%, enabling ships to maintain their ratings for an additional two to three years....
