Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) standards due to be introduced in 2025 could be brought forward to 2022 for two ship types, an industry group proposes.

The group, headed by the International Chamber of Shipping, includes the Liberian Registry, Intertanko, Bimco, the Cruise Lines International Association and the Independent Parcel Tankers Association.
