The maritime industry faces strict IMO regulations, including the CII and EEXI, to enhance sustainability. MARPOL Annex VI, MEPC.335(76), introduces Shaft Power Limitation (ShaPoLi) as a key measure to meet EEXI standards efficiently

The EEXI mandate requires vessels over 400 gross tonnage to calculate their Efficiency Existing Ship Index (EEXI), measuring energy efficiency against benchmarks by ship type and meeting specific values tied to the Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) baseline.

To comply, vessels often choose between Engine Power Limitation (EPL) and Shaft Power Limitation (ShaPoLi). While EPL mechanically limits engine power, EcoMATE ShaPoLi monitors the power transmitted to the propeller, ensuring efficient propulsion while allowing the engine to operate without restriction.

EcoMATE ShaPoLi is specifically designed as a cost-effective solution for retrofitting vessels, making it an ideal way to supplement onboard control systems that may lack compliance with IACS EEXI implementation guidelines. Our tamper-proof solution functions as a certified control unit for calculations, allowing operators to monitor and manage the power transmitted from the shaft to the propeller while receiving alerts on the bridge if limits are exceeded. Additionally, it automatically Automatically records exceedance events and simplifies the input of essential reporting parameters, such as reasons for exceeding limits, ensuring compliance with reporting requirements. The system also tracks required report submissions, streamlining administrative tasks, and reducing the risk of penalties.
