GHG Rating

RightShip’s GHG Rating rates the emissions output of commercial vessels on a scale from A (most efficient) to E (least efficient). The gold standard for emissions comparison in the shipping industry, it is the first rating to incorporate EEXI values alongside EVDI and EEDI. It works by calculating and comparing a vessel’s designed efficiency against peer vessels of similar size and type using a speed-corrected methodology.

Shipowners and managers need to improve the design efficiency of their vessels as short-term measures on the path to cutting their carbon emissions to zero by or around 2050 in line with the IMO’s latest regulations. The GHG Rating enables users to benchmark vessels against its peer group, manage vessel upgrades and newbuild designs, and develop effective decarbonisation strategies.

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.
