Benefits with Clean Shipping Index

- Clean Shipping Index is a practical tool that can directly be used by any key player in the maritime supply chain.

- The holistic approach to emissions, including more categories than only air emissions, ensures a high score can only be obtained when a vessel scores points in all possible emission categories.

- Third-party verification is an important part of the methodology. A vessel certificate can only be obtained after a verification process of the self-assessed data, ensuring the credibility of scored points. Port- & fairway due rebates are only given when the data are verified. Shipowners can use the certificate to receive these rebates and to market their verified environmental performance.

- Vessels are scored beyond legal compliance. As legal compliance sets a baseline, every point scored is a better performance than legal compliance demands.

- Costs for verification of self-assessed data are low compared to the possible discounts on port- & fairway dues. Therefore obtaining a CSI certificate often directly pays off after the date of issue.
