Program Overview: What is Maritime Decarbonisation and IMO Compliance?
Maritime Decarbonisation & IMO Compliance is an instructor-led program for fleet operators, technical managers, and compliance teams facing tightening IMO emissions rules. It covers maritime emissions foundations, IMO measures including EEXI, EEDI, and CII, SEEMP and MRV reporting, alternative fuel pathways, vessel efficiency levers, and fleet decarbonisation planning.
Training mixes regulatory briefings with guided labs on real fleet data. Teams calculate EEXI and CII ratings, draft SEEMP plans, model fuel pathway options, and assess efficiency measures, with instructors reviewing calculations and correcting methodology. The program ends with a 5.5-hour capstone, the Fleet Decarbonisation & IMO Compliance plan, built for a fleet profile the team brings or selects.
Non-compliance is getting expensive: poor CII ratings invite charterer scrutiny, reporting obligations grow, and fuel choices made today lock in costs for years. This program turns regulatory pressure into an operational plan, teaching teams to measure, report, and reduce emissions as routine fleet management rather than last-minute scrambling.
The capstone delivers a board-ready fleet decarbonisation plan: current compliance position, modelled fuel and efficiency scenarios, a SEEMP structure, and a reporting cadence. Teams return with the calculations documented and a plan their commercial colleagues can actually use in chartering decisions.
Through six modules, teams move from emissions fundamentals and IMO measures to data reporting, fuel pathways, and fleet planning. The capstone asks your team to build a decarbonisation and compliance plan for a sample fleet, reviewed with the instructor against real IMO requirements.

Where this Training Fits in Your Team's learning path.
IMO decarbonisation follows maritime operations because emissions rules apply to ships your team already runs under the ISM Code. The path then widens to transport decarbonisation and finally to a company-wide net-zero roadmap.
