CCS RULES FOR GREEN SHIPS

The present CCS Rulebook applicable to the green ships was released with the intention to advocate the development and subsequent application of the green technologies as well as to facilitate the promotion of the structural optimization/upgrading of ship construction, shipping industry, implementation of the effective technologies and using proper management measures to both newly delivered and existing vessels to increase the green grade.

This, when implemented in the operation of the fleets of shipping companies, would eventually result in achieving low consumption and emissions of the vessels, low pollution volumes and better working environment for the people on board. There are three main objectives of green ships, namely energy efficiency, protection of the environment, and improving working environment, and they are all covered in the first three chapters of this document, making part one providing requirements for the ships engaged in the international voyages.

The second part of the volume is dealing with the domestically operating ships. Appendices to the main content of the rulebook provide guidelines for calculation EEDI, development of the associated electric power tables, determining minimum propulsion power, verification of the basic design and tank test of power curves.
