Free EEOI calculator for shipping industry

Best practices for the fuel efficiency operation of ships, including speed management, have been set by the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL) in the Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP). To reduce global carbon emissions, ships will soon be required to collect and monitor data.

Totem Plus’s EEOI calculator will allow users to store and retrieve the relevant data for each specific ship and monitor the EEOI performance accordingly – and it’s free of charge.

Captain Azriel Rahav, CEO, Totem Plus, said to The Motorship: “With the SEEMP deadline getting closer, shipping companies, ship operators and ship personnel need such a tool to calculate the amount of pollution created compared with the cargo carried and the distance sailed. We launched the programme for those who may find it difficult or cumbersome. Commercially speaking, we consider it a valuable contribution to the shipping community and to the environment.”

“The EEOI calculation is part of the fuel efficiency module in our ship automation system, IMACS. We believe that ship automation systems should include such modules as history analysis of data and alarms, fuel monitoring and planning, EEOI and more.”
