Tanker's Operation and Design in Compliance with International Maritime Organization (IMO) Energy Efficiency Measures Requirements provides a practical overview of the latest IMO energy efficiency regulations and their impact on tanker operation and design.

The book is based on the extensive research conducted by Ioannis Chourdakis during his MSc in Maritime Operations & Management at City, University of London. The publication has benefited from the review and valuable comments of Captain Paul Armitage, former tanker Master and shipping executive, currently Visiting Lecturer at City, University of London, and Dr. Zabi Bazari, Visiting Professor at City, University of London, with extensive expertise in marine engineering, thermal power engineering and diesel engine turbocharging.

The shipping industry is undergoing a major transition towards improved environmental performance and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. This book examines the regulatory framework introduced by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), including:

• Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI)
• Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index (EEXI)
• Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP)
• Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII)
• Energy-efficient tanker operation practices

Designed for maritime professionals, shipowners, ship managers, tanker operators, marine superintendents, students and researchers, this publication explains the practical implications of modern energy efficiency requirements and highlights operational measures that can improve vessel performance while maintaining regulatory compliance.

By combining academic research with industry insight, the book offers a concise introduction to one of the most important challenges facing modern tanker shipping: achieving environmental compliance while maintaining commercial competitiveness.
