GHG Rating

Ship owners need to cut their global carbon emissions by at least half by 2050, compared with their level in 2008, to meet International Maritime Organisation (IMO) regulation. Understanding each vessel’s emission output is crucial to a company’s fleet management and decarbonisation strategy.

Use RightShip’s GHG Rating to benchmark each vessel against its peer group to better manage your vessel upgrades, newbuild designs and overall strategy to create a zero harm maritime industry.

Get started

An energy efficient vessel has lower fuel costs, GHG emissions and better chartering potential, which may lead to a higher initial asset value and a longer period of economic depreciation. Subscribe to RightShip today and get access to our global database of vessel GHG Ratings, energy efficient upgrades and benchmarking tools.

GHG Rating advantages

Benchmarking

Compare a vessel’s GHG Rating at a Document of Compliance (DOC) and world fleet level to help you develop a clear emissions reduction strategy. Clearly see a fleet’s efficiency ratings in comparison to peers, as well as progress towards goals.

Simplify purchasing decisions

Purchase new and second-hand vessels with confidence. An energy efficient vessel has lower fuel costs, lower CO2 emissions and better chartering potential, which may lead to a higher initial asset value and a longer period of economic depreciation.

A competitive advantage

Make your vessel as attractive as possible during a charterer’s vessel selection process and display your environmental upgrades and efficiency measures in the RightShip platform.
