Abstract

Using revised International Maritime Organization (IMO) Data Collection System data and the analytical framework of Greenhouse Gas Fuel Intensity, this study evaluates alternative emission-based carbon intensity metrics and energy-intensity supporting metrics. A total of three emission-based Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) alternative metrics and three energy-intensity supporting metrics are defined by combining operational states (under way and not-under-way) with emission and energy boundary assumptions and assessed through simulations based on annual operational data of a representative bulk carrier. The emission-based metrics are primarily governed by boundary definitions rather than onshore power supply (OPS) credits, with not-under-way fuel consumption identified as the dominant driver. Although the OPS effect increases linearly with its energy share, its impact remains limited under our baseline conditions. The energy-intensity supporting metrics vary depending on the inclusion of OPS energy, thus indicating that boundary definitions directly affect energy-based evaluation outcomes. Accordingly, future revisions of ship operational performance indicators should distinguish emission-based carbon intensity from energy-based supporting metrics and apply consistent, data-driven boundary definitions.
