 How Ship Managers / Owners can stay ahead of CII and BIMCO Clause on time charterer vessel Ship managers can take several steps to prepare for the implementation of the Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) as the ships will be graded into 5 different grades based on the carbon emission. 1. Monitor developments: Stay informed about the latest developments in the CII calculation method and any changes to the standards and regulations. This will help ship managers understand the requirements they will need to meet and plan accordingly.   2. Assess emissions: Conduct an assessment of the emissions produced by the ships under their management. This will provide a baseline for comparing the emissions of the ships against the CII standards and identifying areas for improvement. 3. Invest in emissions reduction technologies: Invest in technologies and practices that will help to reduce emissions and improve the ships’ CII scores. This could include investing in more fuel-efficient engines,

Hong Kong Convention The Hong Kong Convention recognised that  ship recycling  is the most environmentally sound way to dispose of a ship at the end of its life, as most of the ship's materials can be reused. However, it sees current methods as unacceptable. The work sees many injuries and fatalities to workers, as they lack the correct  safety equipment  to handle the large ship correctly as it is dismantled and most vessels contain a large amount of  hazardous materials  such as
