LNG-fuelled vessels will be able to obtain a Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) rating two grades higher than ships using heavy fuel oil (HFO), according to SEA-LNG.
The industry fuelling coalition looked at data from two identical trading 180,000-dwt capesize bulk carriers.
It made its calculations for CII based on a 20% emissions reduction that can be achieved by switching from HFO to LNG.
