* EEDI (Energy Efficiency Design Index) regulation:

An international regulation that uses the Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI), which is defined as the number of grams of CO 2 emitted when a ton of cargo is carried one mile, to enforce compliance with the regulation value for energy saving performance of new ships. Phase 1 Phase 0 to 10% of the CO 2 reduction, CO from Phase 2 Phase 0 20% 2 reduction is required. The EEDI regulation value will be gradually strengthened according to the construction contract date and delivery date.
