Maritime Emissions: Innovative Ship Tech for IMO GHG Targets, Master EEXI, EEDI, CII and Future Ship Technologies for IMO’s Decarbonization Roadmap.
Course Description
The maritime industry is undergoing its biggest transformation in history.
With the IMO tightening GHG reduction targets for 2030 and 2050, shipowners, operators, charterers, and maritime professionals must quickly adapt to a new world of regulations, efficiency metrics, and clean technologies.
This course, Maritime Emissions: Innovative Ship Tech for IMO GHG Targets, gives you a complete, practical, and updated understanding of the tools, technologies, and regulations shaping the decarbonization of global shipping.
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
Master the Regulatory Framework
- Understand EEDI (new ships), EEXI (existing ships), and CII (operational rating)
- Learn how ships are rated from A–E and what triggers corrective action plans
- Decode the links between IMO DCS, SEEMP III, FuelEU Maritime, and the EU ETS
Explore Cutting-Edge Ship Technologies
- Energy-saving devices: Mewis Ducts, pre-swirl stators, PBCF
- Engine & shaft power limitations (EPL, ShaPoLi)
- Hydrodynamic improvements and next-gen hull designs
- Waste heat recovery and advanced propulsion concepts
Dive Into Future-Ready Vessel Design
- CFD-driven hull optimisation
- Air lubrication systems
- Wind-assisted propulsion: Flettner rotors, wing sails
- Tech pathways for meeting EEDI requirements in newbuilds
Achieve Operational Excellence for CII
- Voyage optimisation & Just-In-Time arrival tools
- Weather routing, digital twins, and improved SEEMP III execution
- Hull performance management and robotics-based cleaning solutions
Understand the Economics & Compliance Strategy
- Learn how EU ETS carbon costs impact voyage planning, chartering, and overall operating expenses
- Understand energy intensity limits and how FuelEU Maritime influences fuel selection for ships trading in the EU
- Compare different future fuels (LNG, Methanol, Ammonia, Biofuels, Hydrogen) based on cost, emissions performance, and regulatory readiness
- Discover how shipowners build a practical compliance roadmap for meeting IMO’s 2030 and 2050 GHG reduction targets
- Explore real-world decision frameworks: capex vs. opex trade-offs, retrofit ROI, and carbon-cost payback periods
