These services are targeted to increase vessel performance, thus enhancing energy efficiency of vessels, and contributing to the reduction of carbon emissions as well as vessel improvement services and related services for Energy Efficiency eXisting ship Index (EEXI) and Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) compliance.
