Business and market update | Environmental performance

Uninterrupted focus on meeting decarbonization targets

  • a number of ongoing initiatives to improve energy and operational efficiency

Note: EEOI (Energy Efficiency Operational Index) is defined by IMO and represents CO2 emitted per transported cargo per nautical mile for a period of time (both fuel consumption at sea and in port included). In theory, this index will show the good energy efficiency for well as one or two longer ballast voyages e.g. when positioning CABU vessels to/from trading in Americas. These variations are evident when we look at the historical numbers, but will most likely be more stable when we have a larger fleet. End date of a voyage is decisive for which period EEOI for a voyage is included. The average CO2 emissions per vessel is calculated based on the total CO2 emissions for the fleet, divided on the number of ship years. Number of ship years is the total calendar time minus off-hire time while new delivered vessels are counted from date of delivery. Quarterly figures are annualized for average CO2 emission per vessel.
