The Baltic and International Maritime Council (Bimco) has developed an EEDI calculator to assist its members calculating the EEDI and[ds_preview] plotting a ship’s index against the relevant ship type specific regulatory limits imposed by MARPOL Annex VI.
The EEDI calculator is an implementation of the calculation guideline contained in IMO circular MEPC.1/Circ.681. The calculation guideline is still being reviewed by MEPC. Thus, Bimco will issue updated versions of the EEDI calculator as amendments are published in the future.
The EEDI calculator aims to make EEDI performance of known ship designs more visible, as well as providing an easy way to assess changes in EEDI when design parameters are altered.
The first version of the tool is available for Bimco members from the website (www.bimco.org) for download.
