I believe one of the basis for EEXI and CII calculation ratings is taking fuel consumption measurements from original test bed data, which is always conducted with MDO (equivalent #2 Diesel Oil). Scrubbers certainly reduce the emissions, but those are fitted only on the Trillium and Equinox class, and recent Interlake conversions. That leaves many ships not fitted with scrubbers on the American side, though it includes several on the Canadian side (which are approaching end of lifecycle anyway.) Is the new Mark Barker affected? I believe this vessel was being fitted with EMD main engines, which are only designed to burn MGO, so I doubt a scrubber was planned?
