Technical Conference on Managing CII and Associated Challenges 2025
January. 21. 2025→
Event description: Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) – What is it?
The Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) is a mandatory rating measure for ships, developed by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), that came into effect on 1st January 2023.
As part of its commitment to addressing climate change, the IMO has been working on the development of a Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) for international shipping. The CII is intended to measure the carbon efficiency of ships and assess their relative carbon emissions performance. The concept of the CII was introduced in the IMO’s Initial Strategy on Reduction of GHG Emissions from Ships, adopted in 2018. The strategy sets out a vision to reduce total annual greenhouse gas emissions from international shipping.
The CII is intended to be a key tool to assess and monitor the carbon intensity of ships, providing a standardized and transparent measure for evaluating their energy efficiency and emissions performance. It is expected to be a dynamic indicator that can be updated periodically to reflect technological advancements and best practices. However many sectors of the maritime industry have expressed concerns regarding the unintended consequences of implementation of CII.
Technical Conference on Managing CII and Associated Challenges
In January 2024, the Royal Institution of Naval Architects (RINA) hosted the first Technical Conference on Managing CII and Associated Challenges at the IMO Headquarters in London. The conference resulted in bringing together 90+ industry stakeholders who exchanged feedback and insight on CII’s first year. The 2024 conference, supported by SPNL and the Nautical Institute, allowed the delegates an opportunity to hear from two keynote speakers – Mr. Tianbing Huang, Deputy Director, Sub-Division of Protective Measures, Marine Environment Division, IMO and Julien Boulland, Global market leader for sustainable shipping within Bureau Veritas Marine & Offshore, head-office commercial team, among many other presentations including from companies such as Ardmore Shipping; d’amico società di navigazione spa; MSC Cruise Management (UK) Ltd; DNV; Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping; International Chamber of Shipping; Royal Caribbean Group; and many more. See the full Technical Conference: Managing CII and Associated Challenges 2024 Programme.
The IMO must conduct a review of the CII before 1 January 2026, and following initial feedback, changes are expected to CII, though it is not yet clear on what the final outcome will be. The Royal Institution of Naval Architects is proposing a follow up conference in January 2025, and is inviting companies to share how they manage performance as a system, and to explain how continuous improvement in energy efficiency may be achieved.

Energy Storage 2025
January. 22. 2025→
Event description: The European Union’s energy storage sector has witnessed significant advancements, particularly in 2023, with a record-breaking milestone of over 10 GW of cumulative storage installations. This growth is driven by the increasing adoption of battery storage technologies, especially in residential sectors across Europe, with Germany, Italy, and the UK leading the charge. Germany saw a remarkable 152% increase in installations, reflecting the rapid expansion of the market. This progress is crucial as the EU aims to achieve its ambitious target of 187 GW of storage capacity by 2030.
Despite this growth, challenges remain, particularly in balancing the need for large-scale energy storage with the increasing demand for electric vehicles. The EU’s energy transition strategy emphasises the critical role of battery storage, but more policy support is needed to sustain this momentum and meet climate goals.

Drawing on conflicts in the Red Sea and Black Sea, an analysis into the survivability of surface vessels and the growing importance of command and control in naval warfare. Discussions will target the challenges faced in the next generation of ships and how we use people more effectively
Day 2: Leveraging Technologies & Digitisation. The second-day shifts focus to the digitisation of the maritime battlespace. Uncover the latest innovations that are redefining surface armament, from the potential of uncrewed systems to the complexities of digital twin architecture and advanced ISR capabilities. This conference is an essential convergence point for those dedicated to safeguarding our seas and influencing the tactics of the future.
Surface Warships 2025 promises to be a premier event, focusing on the critical aspects of shipbuilding requirements, the procurement of next-generation technologies, and the development of robust solutions to counter growing maritime threats. This event provides a unique platform for industry stakeholders to engage directly and demonstrate how their innovations can advance naval capabilities to key program managers in the Navy.
