The EEDI formulas (excl The EEDI formulas (excl. equations for alternative propulsion means such as wind, solar power etc.) MEPC 245(66) – 4. April 2014 For Ro-Ro cargo ships and Ro-Ro passenger ships: Capacity is the maximum permissible deadweight For passenger ships and cruise passenger ships: Capacity is the Gross Tonnage (GT) in accordance with the internatinal Convention of Tonnage Measurement of Ships 1969, Annex 1, Reg. 3
EEDI according to MARPOL Annex 6, Reg. 21 Attained EEDI <= Required EEDI x (1 – R) Required EEDI: Ro-Ro passenger ships: 752.16 x DWT-0.351 Ro-Ro cargo ships: 1405.15 x DWT-0.498 DWT is the maximum permissible deadweight at summer load draught R depends on the keel laying date

Ro-Pax ships Design service speed versus EEDI ref. speed
Auxiliary power for Ro-Ro cargo ships according to MEPC 245(66) Main engine power (PME) less than 10000 kW: PAE = 0.05 x PME Main engine power (PME) more than 10000 kW: PAE = 250 + 0.025 x PME Reg. 2.5.6.4: For ships where the PAE value calculated by the above mentioned formulas is significantly different from the total power used at normal seagoing condition, the PAE value should be estimated by the consumed electric power (excluding propulsion) in conditions when the ship is engaged in a voyage at reference speed.

Quantitative conclusion/summary for Ro-Pax ships The overall results of the two examples with different deadweight presented are shown in following table. The ship design consequences of the choice to reduce the deadweight for the actual ships to improve the EEDI fulfilment are also shown – unfortunately showing that the deadweight for the rolling cargo is seriously degraded
Conclusions for Ro-Pax ships With the present formulation of the EEDI calculation procedure for Ro-Ro passenger ships (IMO Res. MEPC 245(66) – Annex 5), following conclusions can be drawn: The calculated EEDI value does not reflect the real environmental performance of a Ro-Ro passenger ship Reduction of the design speed increases the EEDI value, although the CO2 emissions per ton payload per nautical mile are reduced by lowering the speed Slow steaming for Ro-Ro passenger ships is an environmental option for reduction of the carbon foot print, but not legally when judged from a purely EEDI point of view Reduction of the deadweight is a way to reduce the EEDI value according to the present rules, such that the future requirements can be met, however resulting in poor ship designs with too small deadweight as a consequence such that only person cars and light cargo vans can be transported, but NO lorries The EEDI formulas are fundamentally wrong and ship designers are not able to design efficient, environmentally friendly and future orientated ships for the Ro-Ro sector DUAL FUEL is a possible solution for meeting the strict EEDI requirements
