While shipowners and suppliers play a critical role in providing spare parts, tools, and support systems, it is ultimately seafarers who carry the operational burden onboard, ensuring vessels remain safe, efficient, and compliant under real-world conditions.

Today, maintaining a vessel is becoming increasingly complex.

Engineers and officers are not only responsible for operations and safety, but also for troubleshooting, performance optimization, and now… regulatory compliance.

With the introduction of Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index and Carbon Intensity Indicator, the industry has taken a necessary step toward decarbonization, but at a cost:

👉 Increased administrative workload
👉 Manual tracking and reporting
👉 Continuous operational adjustments
👉 Rising stress and complexity onboard

In many cases, these responsibilities divert attention from critical navigation and engineering duties.

💡 So the question is: are we solving the right problem in the right way?

Instead of placing the burden on seafarers, a more effective approach is to:

• Shift compliance responsibility toward owners and system providers

• Introduce automation-driven platforms for monitoring, reporting, and optimization

• Enable real-time insights for proactive decision-making

• Reduce manual processes and human error

This is where digital systems, from voyage optimization to engine analytics and fault diagnostics, can make a real difference.

🚀 At Emission-Eye, our vision is clear:

👉 Automated compliance for shipowners
👉 Reduced workload for seafarers
👉 Smarter, data-driven vessel operations

🤝 We want to hear from you

If you are working onboard or closely with vessel operations:

• What are your biggest challenges with EEXI and CII?

• Where do you see inefficiencies today?

• What would make compliance easier in practice?

Your insights are invaluable in building solutions that actually work, not just on paper, but at sea.

Let’s shape the future of shipping together.
