NICE intends to develop an indicator that can effectively reflect all attributes of a ship's energy efficiency. NICE will broaden the view from the single ship to look at the shipping company as the object of the analysis. The project will investigate the possibilities of applying the devised indicator on a fleet of vessels in order to capture the network effect on ship performance and increase cost effectiveness in meeting the IMO targtets. Thus, the general objective of NICE is to contribute to the policy debate on greening international shipping by developing a carbon intensity indicator that combines both technical and operational aspects of the energy efficiency of a ship.
