Sixty-six out of 67 ships owned by the company South Korean HMM comply with international intensity standards carbon emissions from ships. He assured him today the company's CEO, Kim Kyung-bae, explaining that 99% of the units of the company's fleet meet the requirements of the CII (Carbon Intensity Index) regulation of the International Maritime Organization currently undergoing implementation, an index that is based on the amount of carbon dioxide emitted during the transport of one tonne of load on the distance of one nautical mile.

Kim recalled that the IMO plans to apply the CII rating from next year in order to limit the activity of ships that emit more than a certain amount of carbon. The Ships of at least 5,000 gross tonnage will receive ratings their energy efficiency from A to E based on the results of their operational activity during a year and vessels which will receive a D rating for three consecutive years or a rating And for one year they may be subject to limitations to their operation and will have to present a repayment plan that specify how they will achieve a C rating or higher.

Kim said 99 percent of the 67 ships owned by Kim said HMM received a rating between A and D. In addition, the administrator delegate of the South Korean company noted that if the IMO provides that about 35% of the world's fleet will receive A or B ratings and about 35% will get D or E rating, 69% of HMM's ships would receive A or B ratings and only 13% a D or E rating. I note that the excellent rating of HMM's container ships is due in large part to the 11.1% reduction in their stay in port.
