Energy Efficency eXisting Index (EEXI)

Introduced by the IMO to reduce the GreenHouse Gas (GHG) emissions of ships. The EEXI is a measure related to the technical design of a ship. Ships have to attain EEXI approval once in a lifetime, by the first periodical survey in 2023 at the latest.

The required EEXI value is determined by the ship type, the ship’s capacity and principle of propulsion and is the maximum acceptable attained EEXI value.
The attained EEXI value must be calculated for the individual ship, which falls under the regulation.

Verification that the ship’s attained EEXI and technical file is in accordance with the requirements shall take place at the first annual, intermediate or renewal survey after 1st January 2023. The survey is part of the scope of the IAPP survey, and compliance is documented by issuance of the IEE certificate.
