 MTCC Caribbean Pilot Projects

• As one of the five MTCCs which constitute the GMN, MTCC Caribbean objectives
includes promoting technological and operational measures to improve energy efficiency
in the maritime sector and help navigate into a future with reduced GHG emissions from
international shipping.

• MTCC Caribbean has implemented two pilot projects to promote the capacity building
and technical cooperation within the Caribbean region.

 Pilot Project 1- To Promote the Uptake of Ships Energy Efficiency Measures

 Pilot Project 2- To establish a pilot-scale system for data collection and

reporting on ships fuel consumption

 Data Collection
• To fulfil the objectives of the two pilot projects data must be collected from the vessels trading in
the region.

• This is the rationale behind the development of the MTCC Caribbean data collection process
which is currently being implemented in Trinidad and Tobago.

• We must gather as much accurate data from the 16 territories as possible to fulfill the objectives
of the pilot projects.

• However the data collection process is not just to help meet the objectives of MTCC Caribbean
but should also be considered as a head start to the mandatory ship fuel consumption reporting
system which will come into effect in the very near future.

 EEDI

The items that primarily influence EEDI are:

• Energy needed for propulsion.
• Auxiliary power requirements of the vessel
• Any alternate or innovative power generation technology in use on board.
• Innovative technologies that provide mechanical power for ship propulsion.
• The ship deadweight and ship speed.
•Measures energy efficiency of new ships
• Encourages design and technical developments

 Partnerships in Data Collection
The success of MTCC-Caribbean’s pilot projects, is dependent on partnership with maritime shipping
stakeholders within the Caribbean Region.
This requires the active participation and support from:
• Regional maritime administrations.
• Major ports.
• Pilots associations.
• Shipping Agents.
• Technical operators.
• Ship owners.
Stakeholders must actively share credible information, and provide technical expertise for the
successful implementation of MTCC Caribbean’s Pilot Projects.
