Application and access to the CPPS commences with phase1.

We recommend that the participant enters this data into Carbon Positive's online platform, which is a secure area for members only. The data will always remain confidential unless you provide written consent or request us to make this publicly available.

The measure phase collects all initial data necessary for Carbon Positives programme. Also Carbon Positive can optionally conduct a live, on board energy audit to give an accurate picture of the efficiencies based on standard daily operations.

After collating, measuring and monitoring data, Carbon Positive will produce an Annual Emission Report and baseline that will be the foundation of the carbon management strategy. Measurement services include monitoring of the Energy Efficiency Operational Indicator (EEOI), fuel consumption, Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) calculations, as well as verifying the carbon footprint.

A minimum period of 12 months historical operating data is considered sufficient. All data will always remain confidential.

The Measure phase provides an accurate analysis of the vessel's energy performance, measuring CO2 emissions and identifying energy losses that enable planning of the SEEMP Plus. This is critical data ensuring that clients have a true picture of their emissions, as well as ensuring that the Carbon Positive plan is tailored to the vessel, making it as effective as possible in reducing emissions.

Accurate measurement is of paramount importance to ensure optimum emissions' reduction results from the CPPS. It is the base from which forward planning and target setting begins. One cannot begin to reduce emissions effectively without understanding the true carbon footprint and the measurement of this on an ongoing basis in order to maintain progress. As the foundation of the carbon emissions' management strategy, this phase is fundamental to the entire process.

Carbon Positive strongly advises the use of its own thoroughly developed on board energy audit in order to give the the most accurate picture of the carbon footprint so as to establish the baseline. However, if a prospective member's audit complies with Carbon Positive standards, and is less than six months old, it may be accepted within the programme.

The Measure phase offers much more than a carbon footprint figure. Carbon Positive will provide a complete 360 degree analysis of the emissions of the vessel, including an on board energy audit. As the foundation of the bespoke carbon emissions' management strategy, this phase is fundamental to the entire process.

Carbon Positive will liaise with the operations team to schedule the on board attendance of a specialist Superintendent Engineer. This can be arranged through Carbon Positive's worldwide network of qualified engineers so as to ensure that this is convenient for the fleet management.

This is not advisable, as it may prejudice the programme's verification process and will not provide the full detail and subsequent benefits required when entering the process – working with current data is essential.

The energy audit normally takes 10 days of on board attendance by one Carbon Positive Superintendent Engineer.

Not really, however, some initial collaboration with the vessel's crew is unavoidable. In general, the audit is planned in such a way so as not to interfere at all with the vessel's normal working or schedule.

All equipment will be supplied by Carbon Positive and mainly consists of: 3-phase power analysers, digital recording multi meters, IR cameras, IR thermometers, flue gas analysers, lux/air flow meters, humidity/temperature meters and tachometers.

The equipment and machinery that we will audit includes: M/E, D/Gs, Boilers, Incinerators, HVAC, Compressed Air system, Turbocharger, Economiser Feed Water P/P, Cooling Sea Water P/P, Central Cooling FW P/P and Lighting systems.

A minimum period of 12 months historical operating data is considered sufficient.

Yes, it is.

Yes, it is.

Both values are accurate but represent different indexes. EEDI demonstrates design performance, while EEOI demonstrates actual operational performance.

No. The EEDI is specifically formulated for new build vessels. It could be applied on existing ships if accurate data from construction and sea trials were available. However, this would not reflect the current true energy performance of the ship, and comparisons between EEOI and EEDI are not advised.

The EEDI is not currently applicable to some ship types; including Ro_Pax, Ro-Ro, passenger ferries and some other vessel types. Moreover, ships with non-conventional propulsion systems (e.g, diesel-electric propulsion, turbine propulsion) may not be applicable.

The use of the Fi, fj and fw factors have not yet been determined.
