Appendix – Calculation of Energy Efficiency Operational Indicator (EEOI) Based on Operational Data

1 General

 The objective of the Appendix is to provide guidance on calculation of the Energy Efficiency Operational Indicator (EEOI) based on data from the operation of the ship.

2 Data sources

 Primary data sources selected could be the ship’s log-book (bridge log-book, engine log-book, deck log-book and other official records).

3 Fuel mass to CO2 mass conversion factors (CF )

 CF is a non-dimensional conversion factor between fuel consumption measured in g and CO2 emission also measured in g based on carbon content. The value of CF is as follows:

Type of fuel Reference Carbon content CF (t-CO2/t-Fuel)
1. =

Diesel/Gas Oil

ISO 8217 Grades DMX through DMC 0.875 3.206000
2. =

Light Fuel Oil (LFO)

ISO 8217 Grades RMA through RMD 0.86 3.151040
3. =

Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO)

ISO 8217 Grades RME through RMK 0.85 3.114400
4. =

Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG)

4 Calculation of EEOI

 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.

5 Rolling average

 Rolling average, when used, can be calculated in a suitable time period, for example one year closest to the end of a voyage for that period, or number of voyages, for example six or ten voyages, which are agreed as statistically relevant to the initial averaging period. The Rolling Average EEOI is then calculated for this period or number of voyages by Equation 2 above.

6 Data

 For a voyage or period, e.g., a day, data on fuel consumption/cargo carried and distance sailed in a continuous sailing pattern could be collected as shown in the reporting sheet below.

CO2 Indicator reporting sheet
NAME AND TYPE OF SHIP
Voyage or day (i) Fuel consumption (FC) at sea and in port in tonnes Voyage or time period data
Fuel type ( ) Fuel type ( ) Fuel type ( )   Cargo (m) (tonnes or units) Distance (D) (NM)
1            
2            
3            
             

NOTE: For voyages with m cargo =0, it is still necessary to include the fuel used during this voyage in the summation above the line.

7 Conversion from g/tonne-mile to g/tonne-km

 The CO2 indicator may be converted from g/tonne-mile to g/tonne-km by multiplication by 0.54.

8 Example:

 A simple example including one ballast voyage, for illustration purpose only, is provided below. The example illustrates the application of the formula based on the data reporting sheet.

NAME AND TYPE OF SHIP
Voyage or day (i) Fuel consumption (FC) at sea and in port in tonnes Voyage or time period data
Fuel type (HFO) Fuel type (LFO) Fuel type ( )   Cargo (m) (tonnes or units) Distance (D) (NM)
1 20 5     25,000 300
2 20 5     0 300
3 50 10     25,000 750
  10 3     15,000 150

unit: tonnes CO2/(tons • nautical miles)
