How a CII approach to chartering might increase emissions and cost

To help our customers cut through the complexity of the Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII), Siglar has developed the voyage CII. When we compare a voyage’s CII rating with the voyage's total emissions, a pattern emerges: chartering decisions based solely on CII can actually drive emissions and costs. In this article, we break down why that happens and walk through common voyage scenarios that illustrate the impact.

Key outcomes of IMO MEPC79

The IMO 79th Marine Environment Protection Committee meeting took place this month and discussions around the reduction of GHG emissions from ships took centre stage.

COP27 – Shipping and decarbonisation

The very short COP27 shipping summary: The drive to decarbonise the shipping sector is growing, parties in the value chain are collaborating and initiatives that show most progress are linked to developing green shipping corridors, zero-emission fuels and vessels, as well as infrastructure to support the transformation of the industry.

Emission Schemes

IMO Net Zero Framework

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) is developing a global regulatory framework intended to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from international shipping in line with the 2023 IMO GHG Strategy, which aims to achieve net-zero emissions from international shipping by or around 2050.

EU Emissions Trading System

The EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) is the European Union’s carbon pricing mechanism, and since 2024 it has included maritime transport. It places a cost on greenhouse gas emissions from ships by requiring companies to monitor emissions (under EU MRV) and surrender tradable emission allowances.

FuelEU Maritime

FuelEU Maritime is established under Regulation (EU) 2023/1805. It forms part of the EU climate framework and sets requirements to reduce the greenhouse gas intensity of energy used on board ships calling at EU ports.
