- Abstract
It is well known that air pollution is a serious and actual problem that affects our society. The maritime transport is responsible for a part of that pollution, approximately for 10% of the greenhouse gases emissions of the transport sector. In order to reduce greenhouse gas emission from international shipping, the Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) from the International Maritime Organization developed technical and operational measures, helping to improve in the same time the fuel efficiency too. The measures have been reviewed by the Committee in a number of sessions and the results were the concepts of Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI), Energy Efficiency Operational Index (EEOI) and Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP). They have also elaborated a model course comprising the main factors that should be well known and adjusted for an energy efficient ship. The aims of this study are to offer an overview of the proposed measures, to emphasize their technical implications and also the operational requirements that have been set in maritime field regarding the marine environment.
