HMM : 99% of its owned ships allowed to sail under CII rules

CII is rated A, B, C, D, or E (where A is the best). The rating indicates a major superior, minor superior, moderate, minor inferior, or inferior performance level. A ship rated D for three consecutive years, or E, isrequiredtosubmitacorrectiveactionplantoshowhow therequiredindex(Corabove)wouldbeachieved.

The IMO plans to apply a CII rating from 2024 based ontheperformanceofvesseloperationin2023.

KR GEARs (GHG Emission Authentic Reporting system)

KR GEARs features greenhouse gas online data management, including a real-time CII monitor, CII simulator, and ETS calculator. This platform enables the CII rating to be derived and managed in real time. Users also can automatically create their EU MRV EmissionReportandIMODCSFuelConsumptionReport.

The results showed that 99% of HMM’s 67 owned vessels, except for one bulk ship, received a rating from A to D, which is currently allowed for vessel operation. The one bulk ship under the E rating is expected to improve its CII rating by adjusting ship speed and using low-carbonbiofuel.

HMM’s CII rating has been primarily led by an 11.1% reduction in port dwell time for its containerships. The efforts on slow-steaming and installing more efficient propellers have also contributed to enhancing energyefficiency.

In addition, HMM will expand the use of premium anti-fouling paints to decrease ship resistance and will continuetopromotealternativecleanfuels.

An HMM official said, “Responding to climate issues and improving environmental capabilities are key to success for a sustainable future. We will be dedicated to moving faster and better preparing for stricter environmentalregulations.”
