Please find attached ICS paper, (MEPC 81/6/2) to be submitted to MEPC81 in March 2024. The paper is titled ENERGY EFFICIENCY OF SHIPS.  Data collection system to support the CII review.

The ICS CII data collection system has been set up to support MEPC’s review of the CII rating system. It enables shipowners and ship managers to submit a copy of their aggregate validated DCS data and separately to submit, in unvalidated aggregate form, the additional scope of data agreed at MEPC 80 (e.g. including greater granularity of fuel consumption and transport work). This data will enable a better understanding of how effectively the rating system is performing and is an important starting point for proposals for system improvement. Respondents can elect to share their data in anonymized form with IMO and with trade associations. To support the CII review it is important to collect the widest possible extent of data.

Members are strongly encouraged to participate in the Data Collection System. The system can be accessed via the  https://www.ics-shipping.org/supporting-shipping/ics-cii-data-collection-system/   webpage of the ICS website. Screen shots of the webpage are provided in the annex to this document. In case of any queries on the system, please contact Chris.Waddington@ics-shipping.org.
