An Ocean Scientist Explains... Maritime Shipping's Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII)

Sofar Ocean CEO Tim Janssen, PhD provides an in-depth explanation of the Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII), a major decarbonization regulation in the maritime shipping industry. Janssen details how CII scores are calculated, unpacks the effect vessel speed and ocean weather have on CII, and explains how voyage optimization platforms are adapting to incorporate CII considerations.
Sofar's Wayfinder voyage optimization platform provides continuously optimized voyage guidance to meet any business constraint, including CII. To learn more about Wayfinder, visit: www.sofarocean...

Interesting stuff, first time I have heard about CII. I imagine that manufacturing moving to Mexico from overseas should help reduce CII a great deal if a majority of those goods come to the US. The article I read about the manufacturing shift did not get into shipping or CO2 but seems like an important thing for corps to consider. Anyways, creepy this came up on my feed after reading that article and thinking about the environmental benefits. Also, doing an outreach event in a couple weeks with my Trident ROVS but down 100m tether. Got any stashed away in closet somewhere?

Thanks for your comment. Unfortunately, we no longer produce the Trident underwater drone and support for the product ended on 12/31/2020. We continue to expand the capabilities of our Spotter buoy platform and support open development through the Bristlemouth open hardware interface, a full stack marine connectivity standard.
