Nowadays, the development of science and technology brings the innovations and resolutions in aims with increasing the benefits and incomes for companies and producers. Additionally, the development of nation's economic associates with environmental protection. In the field of shipping transportation, the increasing in a number of ships operates then International Maritime Organization IMO's regulations become gradually more tightly about the environmental protection. EEOI – Energy Efficiency Operational Indicator is an operational measure tool for assessing the ship energy efficiency and CO2 emission to the environment. Furthermore, the research status is about ships energy efficiency management also has the optimistic trends and more effective. In the world, there are a lot of ships energy efficiency researches in aim with enhancing the energy efficiency and environmental protection. For instance, the voyage optimization, increasing the propulsion efficiency of ships, reducing the resistances, etc. However, in Vietnam, there are a lot of shipping transportation companies with different types of ship but the number of research about ships energy efficiency management also restrict. Since this research was carried out and applied the energy efficiency measure tool of International Maritime Organization (IMO) for assessing all ships in Vietnam. The above workings were conducted by EEOI calculation tool for a certain ship with name M/V NSU JUSTICE 250,000 DWT of the VINIC Shipping Transportation Company, Vietnam.
