Seanergy Maritime Holdings Corp. Successfully Completes Fleet Compliance Evaluation for the Upcoming Greenhouse Gas Regulatio...
February 09 2021 - 9:00AM
Seanergy Maritime Holdings Corp. (“Seanergy” or the “Company”)
(NASDAQ: SHIP) announced today that it has successfully completed
the evaluation of the Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index
(“EEXI”) of its Capesize vessels.
IMO is targeting a 50% reduction in Greenhouse
Gas (“GHG”) emissions from international shipping by 2050, compared
to the 2008 levels. This will be achieved by implementing
short-term, mid-term and long-term measures. As part of the
short-term measures, IMO’s Marine Environment Protection Committee
(“MEPC”) 75 approved in November 2020 amendments to MARPOL Annex
VI, introducing an Energy Efficiency Design Index for existing
vessels.
In cooperation with prominent classification
society DNV, Seanergy has completed the evaluation of the EEXI in
accordance with IMO’s MEPC 75. Pursuant to the results of the
evaluation, the Company expects that its existing fleet will remain
compliant with applicable GHG regulatory requirements until 2030
with no material cost for the Company.
Stamatis Tsantanis, the Company’s
Chairman & Chief Executive Officer, stated:
“We are very pleased with the outcome of the
evaluation of our high-quality fleet, which was done in cooperation
with a leading classification society. Seanergy has always been at
the forefront of all environmental and regulatory developments in
our sector. We maintain our position that the shipping community in
cooperation with our charterers should be focusing on improving the
energy efficiency and carbon footprint of the existing fleet. This
can lead to meaningful GHG emissions reduction.
We hereby reiterate our strong commitment to our
ESG agenda and a greener shipping industry.”
