Engine derating / EPL / ShaPoLi retrofit

vendor claim — not yet independently measured

Limiting the engine's maximum power (EPL/ShaPoLi) so it operates at a more efficient point and the attained CII improves. The only high-impact measure requiring neither drydock nor major hardware — but it caps the commercial top speed.

Which ships it suits

  • Segments: Bulk carrier, Chemical tanker, Combination carrier, Container ship, Gas carrier, General cargo ship, LNG carrier, Oil tanker, Passenger ship (Cruise Passenger ship), Refrigerated cargo carrier, Ro-pax ship, Ro-ro ship, Vehicle carrier
  • Remaining service life: at least 3 years (payback must fit inside it)

Measured real-world outcomes

The reduction range above is a vendor claim. We continuously detect completed retrofits in shipyard-visit, equipment and EU MRV emissions data and measure the actual AER change. Measured results are published per measure once at least 30 controlled observations exist — until then, treat vendor ranges as ceilings: real-world delivery is consistently at or below the low end.
