Work out the attained and required Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) of a ro-ro cargo ship and its A–E rating for any year from 2023 to 2030. Capacity for this ship type is gross tonnage (GT), so the CII is in grams of CO₂ per GT·nautical mile.

Example ship — replace with your own figures. Ro-ro cargo ship, 25,000 GT, 70,000 nm in 2026. Illustrative figures, not data for a real ship.

Required CII by ship size, 2023–2030

Required CII in g CO₂/(GT·nm) for example sizes. The required value tightens each year by the reduction factor Z.

Rating boundaries

Each boundary is the required CII multiplied by a factor from MEPC.354(78), Table 1. A ship is rated A up to the superior boundary, B up to the lower, C up to the upper, D up to the inferior, and E above it.
