This dissertation deals with ship energy efficiency indicators, their determination and assessment. The first chapter analyzes the greenhouse effect, its creation causes, its effects on the environment as well as the contribution of the shipping industry to the phenomenon through emitted pollutants. Subsequently what is being described is the institutional framework and the strategy followed, by which, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) is called upon, to regulate the requirements for the protection of the marine and atmospheric environment from international shipping activity. The concept of energy efficiency and its relation to fuel consumption is also captured. The third chapter presents the structure of the Ship Energy Management Plan (SEEMP), the IMO (DCS) and the European Union (MRV) data collection, recording and certification mechanisms as well as all of the mandatory and voluntary energy indicators applied by the IMO (EEDI , EEXI, EEOI, CII) as tools for evaluating the energy efficiency of ships. Consequently, alternative energy indicators are listed that have either been proposed by the international literature in the context of strengthening/compensating for the shortcomings of the official IMO indicators (I4E, CEEI, EEPI, VENEFI), or are voluntarily followed by private initiatives (EVDI, CCWG, ESI/CSI ) and focus on specific ship types such as container ships. The fourth chapter analyzes the process of ship energy inspections and the assessment approach through the application of corresponding energy comparative indicators (Key Performance Indicators-KPIs). Finally, the fifth chapter evaluates most of the aforementioned indicators and record conclusions and implementation resulted concerns that troubles the protagonists of the shipping sector (ship owners and charterers alike).
