Summary and outlook

Tradewinds 23 October 2023

Carbon intensity – Maintaining strong performance in Q3

Carbon intensity (EEOI)1

  • Continued strong carbon intensity (EEOI) performance at levels well below 2022 actual
  • Positive effect from lower time in ballast and longer laden distance, and negative effects of lower average cargo weight compared to Q2
  • MV Bass, fixed on a 2-year T/C operating as a pure product tanker, continue to have negative impact
  • CO2 emission per vessel-year2 increased by 6% reflecting longer sailed voyages/shorter time in port

1) EEOI = 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 port included). 2) Average CO2 emissions per vessel-year = total emissions/vessel year. Vessel years = days available – off-hire days at yards. When new vessels are delivered to the fleet, the vessel years are calculated from the date the vessel is delivered.

Successful first large energy efficiency retrofit

What?

Large installation of energy efficiency measures on 2017 built CABU II vessel MV Ballard completed end September

  • Air lubrication system
  • Shaft generator
  • Mewis duct
  • Welding seem fairing
  • Silicon paint
  • New ship performance system

Successful system tests and function test during first voyage. Estimated fuel consumption reduction based on initial analyses of first voyage.

Payback (fuelprice \$ pmt) \$665 (Oct.'23): ~8 years \$930 (Oct'23+carbon cost2 ): ~6 years
