EEXI and CII regulations expected to hit old LNG steamships

Older steam turbine-driven LNG carriers may have to be scrapped, converted for other uses or retrofitted to enable them to trade under new, a market expert told a Gastech webinar.

The expectation comes as the International Maritime Organization gears up to approve the Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index (EEXI) and carbon intensity index (CII) next month in a bid to cut carbon output.
