Korean Register (KR) is proud to announce that a paper entitled 'Proposal and analysis for effective implementation of new measures to reduce the operational carbon intensity of ships' by KIM Hoijun, Principal Surveyor of KR Statutory Division, has been published in Ocean Engineering Volume 280, 15 July 2023.

Ocean Engineering is a world-class academic and research organization based in the UK, focusing on marine and offshore renewable energy and the development of devices to reduce air pollution and greenhouse gases, and is a prestigious international academic organization in the marine field, with a journal impact factor in the top 5% of international journals.

The paper analyzes the impact on the industry of the IMO's implementation of Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII), one of the IMO’s short-term GHG reduction measures, and minimizes the negative impact on the maritime industry by providing a technically complete methodology for calculating the GHG emissions of international shipping. It is expected to be a useful guide for the maritime industry, including shipping companies and classification societies, in the implementation of the CII Regulation. The findings were shared with Member States during the IMO MEPC 80, which Mr. Kim attended as a South Korean delegate.
