The basic expression for EEOI for a voyage is defined as:
Where average of the indicator for a period or for
a number of voyages is obtained, the Indicator is calculated as:
Where:
-
j is the fuel type;
-
i is the voyage number;
-
FC
i j
is the mass of consumed
fuel jat voyage i;
-
C
Fj is the fuel mass to CO2 mass
conversion factor for fuel j;
-
m
cargo is cargo carried (tonnes) or work
done (number of TEU or passengers) or gross tonnes for passenger ships;
and
-
D is the distance in nautical miles corresponding
to the cargo carried or work done.
The unit of EEOI depends on the measurement of cargo carried
or work done, e.g., tonnes CO2/(tonnes • nautical
miles), tonnes CO2/(TEU • nautical miles), tonnes
CO2/(person • nautical miles), etc.
It should be noted that Equation 2 does not give a simple average
of EEOI among number of voyage i.
