SSPA - member of The International Towing Tank Conference
ITTC is a voluntary association of worldwide organizations responsible for the prediction of hydrodynamic performance of ships and marine installations. The association is also an observer at the International Maritime Organisation (IMO).
A fair trial – how to obtain the correct EEDI
IMO recently passed a resolution on the Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI). This index is a measure of the amount of carbon dioxide a ship emits in relation to its cargo capacity and speed. A ship’s EEDI value must not exceed the allowable limit set by IMO. SSPA can help derive the hydrodynamic part of the EEDI value for new ships.
