The International Maritime Organization’s Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) can yet be a powerful force for good in shipping, Bo Cerup-Simonsen believes.
The chief executive of Denmark’s Maersk Mc-Kinney Moller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping told TradeWinds: “We have to acknowledge that CII is a step in the direction of driving energy efficiency. Is it perfect? No, it’s definitely not.”
CII measures how efficiently a vessel carries cargo, but has come in for strong criticism from some shipowners.
