Ships are rated on a scale of A to E based on annual operational energy efficiency (CII)
CII will be applied to all ships**) of 5,000 GT and above engaged in international voyage
Bulk carriers
Gas carriers
Tankers
Container ships
General cargo ships
Refrigerated cargo carriers
Combination carriers
LNG carriers
Vehicle carriers
Ro-Ro cargo vessels
Ro-Ro passenger vessels
Cruise ships.
The CII is based directly on the fuel consumption, which is influenced by how a specific ship
is operated in combination with its technical efficiency and fuel.
A) The Rules for the Calculation of CII is taken from the ANNEX 7 RESOLUTION
MEPC.333(76) (adopted on 17 June 2021) 2021 GUIDELINES ON OPERATIONAL CARBON
INTENSITY INDICATORS AND THE CALCULATION METHODS (CII GUIDELINES, G1).
2. Parameters considered
Mass of CO2 emissions
fuel oil type
Total mass (in grams) of consumed fuel oil
Fuel oil mass to CO2 mass conversion factor
Ship Capacity
Distance travelled in a given calendar
3. Required CII is calculated using CII reference lines for each category of ships by
multiplying reduction factor stipulated for each year.
4. Comparing the attained CII with the required CII, ships are rated as A to E, based on
the gap between the attained CII and the required CII
The difference is that CII ratings will apply to ships 5,000 GT and above regardless of
propulsion type.
