1Gross tonnage should be calculated in accordance with the International Convention on Tonnage Measurement of Ships, 1969.
2Net tonnage should be calculated in accordance with the International Convention on Tonnage Measurement of Ships, 1969. If not applicable, note “N/A”.
3DWT means the difference in tonnes between the displacement of a ship in water of relative density of 1,025 kg/m3 at the summer load draught and the lightweight of the ship. The summer load draught should be taken as the maximum summer draught as certified in the stability booklet approved by the Administration or an organization authorized by it. If not applicable, note “N/A”.
4Rated power means the maximum continuous rated power as specified on the nameplate of the engine.
5Refer to the 2018 Guidelines on the method of calculation of the attained Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) for new ships (resolution MEPC.308(73), as amended by resolutions MEPC.322(74) and MEPC.332(76)), and as may be further amended.
