ICS launches CII data collection system

International Chamber of Shipping (ICS), the global trade association for shipowners which represents over 80% of the world merchant fleet, has announced the launch of its Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) Data Collection System.

CII is a rating system developed by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) to measure the energy efficiency of ships, above 5,000 gross tonnage and trading internationally, and came into effect on 1 January 2023.

At this moment, it is in an experience-building phase, with a formal review running in parallel, until 1 January 2026.

Earlier, ICS developed a system that enables shipowners and managers to submit data, including fuel consumption, transport work, and trial metrics.

Therefore, such information will enable a clearer understanding of how fairly and effectively the CII system is functioning and provide the necessary input to the IMO for system improvement, according to a statement.

Chris Waddington, technical director of the International Chamber of Shipping and lead on the ICS CII Data Collection System, commented, “At the International Chamber of Shipping we wish to engage constructively to the current experience-building phase of the CII review, to ensure that the system is fit-for-purpose and effective.”
