Cement Carrier CII

Self-discharging cement carriers with pneumatic unloading systems. MEPC.337 general_cargo reference applies. Pneumatic discharge adds substantial aux load during port stays - allow for it in the fuel total.

Formula, assumptions, and limits

$$\text{CII}_\text{required} = 31948 \cdot \text{DWT}^{-0.793} \cdot (1-Z)$$

Pneumatic compressor run-time during discharge can double port-call fuel for cement carriers vs dry bulk. Slow-steaming savings are modest compared to bulkers because voyage patterns are short-haul intra-region.
