More of the requirements and regulations for establishing of efficiency criteria are based on commercial activities of the vessels and respective fuel consumption. There is the big difference between offshore vessels and all other vessels. Offshore shipping industry has other criteria for effective fuel consumption. As longest, as the job is with very high risk Safety is with high priority. The offshore industry tries to find another way and means for implementation of MARPOL Annex VI requirements.
