StormGeo, a leading service provider in weather condition knowledge and also decision-support services for the delivery sector, introduced the launch of a brand-new Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) Dashboard that supplies ship drivers with the best electronic device for determining, reporting, and also proactively enhancing the CII positions of their fleet.

The brand-new CII Dashboard is an essential enhancement to StormGeo’s cutting-edge software application and also solutions collection, s-Suite where it has actually been incorporated right into the s-Insight system.

Developed in action to the sector demand for dependable information and also computation techniques for the precise evaluation of vessel carbon strength, the brand-new control panel will certainly play an essential function in assisting ship drivers to conform and also remain in advance of brand-new CII policies.

The CII is a functional effectiveness indication which determines just how successfully a ship carries products or travelers in grams of carbon dioxide released per cargo-carrying ability and also maritime mile based upon its Annual Efficiency Ratio (AER). A CII score worth for all freight, ro-pax and also cruise ship vessels over 5000 GT should be determined and also reported after 1 January 2023 under compulsory, worldwide policies embraced by the International Maritime Organization (IMO).

Under the brand-new policies a CII score on a range of A to E is determined, with A standing for a really operationally effective vessel. The driver of any type of vessels that hold a D or E score, will certainly be called for to send a strategy that details just how the vessel’s CII score will certainly be enhanced to a score of C, or greater, as component of its Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP).

Unlike various other CII calculators on the marketplace, StormGeo’s s-Insight incorporates the arrangement of CII information for several vessels in an user-friendly user interface, with the professional recommendations from StormGeo on a working as a consultant basis on just how to enhance vessel carbon strength positions.

StormGeo’s brand-new device determines achieved and also called for CII rankings, and also the discrepancy in between both, for a chosen duration utilizing needed vessel aspects. Based on the initial CII score, the device likewise anticipates the year of CII score wear and tear permitting the customer to translate just how a vessel is presently placed versus just how it will certainly be placed in the future when CII score limitations are tightened up. A three-day ordinary pattern component is likewise integrated right into the control panel.

To resolve the demand for essential information precision, StormGeo’s s-Insight system has actually the reported information in such granularity that also exemptions for range under specified problems and also modifications for reefer, freight home heating, cooling down systems, and so on, can be appropriately determined and also subtracted. This makes the device future-proof and also all set for any type of modifications in the computation techniques or exemptions specified by the IMO.

The CII Dashboard is presently offered to StormGeo clients registered for the complete s-Insight system or individuals of the IMO DCS component.

Dr Thilo Dückert, Vice President Fleet Performance Management at StormGeo, states“We don’t just offer products, we offer innovative solutions. This tool was developed based on client feedback on what they need to ensure the compliance of their vessels with incoming IMO rules for energy efficiency improvement and carbon intensity reporting and reduction. A simulation feature will be incorporated into the dashboard in the future which ship operators can use to run scenarios that provide insight into how the potential deployment of operational optimization measures will impact a vessel’s CII rating for that year.”

“Ultimately, we will integrate a voyage efficiency indicator into the tool that evaluates how efficient a voyage is compared to a benchmark. This will take the idea one step further as a more advanced way of looking at vessel or fleet-level CII ratings,” Dr Dückert wraps up.

Kim Sørensen, COO of StormGeo Shipping, states“This is a truly unique solution that does more than just calculate CII ratings. Our active consulting, combined with an outlook of current CII rankings versus forecasted rankings offers the ultimate service for fleet carbon intensity improvement. At StormGeo, supporting the decarbonization efforts of the international shipping industry and accelerating the use of digital solutions is a top priority. I am proud that our smart software will play a vital role in enabling decarbonization through digitalization.”
