SimulaO on provides a faster, more e? cient and more comprehensive way of performing the calculaO ons necessary to understand EEXI and CII compliance requirements than a tradiO onal spreadsheet-driven approach.

Patrick Ryan, ABS support compliance with EEXI and CII regulations and conformance to vol- untary market measures. The capabil- ity for benchmarking, feeding the SIM software with vessel information and different performance parameters can help owners to understand what changes are needed and when. The SIM tool has been incorporated in the already wide range of services ABS Sustainability

Centers have launched to support ship- owners in this ? eld.

To provide wider access to the tech- nology, ABS has opened a series of global simulation centers, in Singapore and Houston with another Athens to fol- low in January 2022, to bring SIM fur- ther into shipping. One of the ? rst proj- ects managed from Singapore will see

ABS, Hudong–Zhonghua Shipbuilding and Wärtsilä use advanced multi-phys- ics modelling and simulation to develop a ? exible, future ready and modular concept for a future multi-fuel electric

Lique? ed Natural Gas carrier.

The joint development project will apply various decarbonization tech- nologies and solutions to the vessel de- sign and operation models to investi- gate its performance against the IMO’s

Carbon Intensity Indicator CII up to at least 2050.
