What is EEXI and why is it important for your fleet? 

The Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index (EEXI) is an international IMO regulation that assesses the energy efficiency of existing ships. The regulation has been in force since 1 January 2023 and sets stricter requirements for the amount of CO₂ emissions per transport capacity. 

For shipowners and operators, this means that ships must demonstrate that they comply with new emission standards. If a ship does not meet the EEXI requirements, this may lead to fines, delays or reputational damage. 

Normec Verifavia supports you in assessing your current situation and helps you develop an effective strategy to become compliant and remain compliant. 

Our approach 

At Normec Verifavia, we combine regulatory expertise with technical analysis to develop an efficient and feasible compliance approach. 

We support you, among other things, with: 

  • EEXI calculations and analysis based on ship data  
  • CFD simulations (Computational Fluid Dynamics) to predict performance and energy efficiency  
  • OPL solutions such as Engine Power Limitation (EPL) and Shaft Power Limitation (ShaPoLi), supplied and installed by our partners  
  • Guidance on technical improvements and alternative solutions  

This provides a clear understanding of the impact on fuel consumption, speed and operational performance before you make a decision.

The benefits of EEXI compliance 

With the right approach, EEXI compliance can not only cover regulatory obligations but also contribute to better fleet performance. 

  • You avoid fines and operational risks by complying with EEXI regulations in time  
  • You improve the energy efficiency of your ships, which can lead to lower fuel costs  
  • You make well-founded decisions thanks to simulations and data analysis  
  • You strengthen your sustainability strategy and demonstrate that you are actively working on emissions reduction  
  • You increase the confidence of customers and stakeholders in your maritime operations  

Normec Verifavia expertise in maritime emissions regulations 

Normec Verifavia has extensive experience with EEXI compliance, CFD simulations and emissions regulations within international shipping. 

Our experts support organizations worldwide with: 

  • Independent verification of EEXI compliance  
  • Technical analyses and simulations  
  • Advice on implementation of OPL systems such as EPL and ShaPoLi  
  • Practical guidance during compliance projects  

Thanks to our global network of maritime experts, we understand both the regulations and the operational reality of the sector. 

Sustainable future in shipping 

The maritime sector faces a major sustainability challenge. EEXI is an important step towards lower emissions and more efficient ships. 

In addition to technical measures such as engine power limitation or propeller optimization, solutions such as silicon coating or alternative fuels (for example LNG or biofuels) can also contribute to emissions reduction. 

With the right strategy, you ensure that your fleet not only complies with current regulations but is also ready for future environmental requirements.

Frequently asked questions

EEXI (Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index) is an IMO regulation that assesses the energy efficiency of existing ships based on CO₂ emissions per carrying capacity.

It has officially been in effect since Jan. 1, 2023, for existing ships covered by IMO regulations.

Non-compliance can result in operational restrictions, potential penalties and reputational damage.

Engine Power Limitation (EPL) physically limits a vessel's engine power.
Shaft Power Limitation (ShaPoLi) electronically limits shaft power and allows temporary lifting.

Yes. Modifications such as propeller optimization, silicone coating or other efficiency improvements can help reduce emissions.

Alternative fuels such as LNG or biofuels can significantly reduce emissions, but often require adjustments to infrastructure and operations.

The cost depends on several factors, such as the size of your fleet and the technical complexity of the ships. Therefore, at Normec Verifavia you will always receive a personalized quote tailored to your specific situation and needs.

The duration varies by organization and depends on the current situation of your fleet and the chosen compliance solution. We work efficiently and ensure that the process has as little impact as possible on your day-to-day operations.

Our experts analyze your vessel data, operational profile and technical capabilities. Based on this, we recommend the most appropriate strategy, taking into account technical feasibility, cost and operational impact.

Yes. In addition to achieving EEXI compliance, we offer ongoing support. We help you stay compliant, optimize your performance and prepare for future regulations.

Yes. We advise on various solutions, including alternative fuels, technical upgrades and operational optimizations. This helps reduce emissions and improve the efficiency of your fleet.
