Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP)
Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP)
The Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP) is a document outlining measures to improve a ship’s energy efficiency. Key features include:
1. Ship-specific energy efficiency measures
2. Procedures for monitoring fuel consumption and emissions
3. Goal-setting for energy efficiency improvements
4. Implementation strategies for chosen measures
5. Methods for evaluating effectiveness of implemented measures
This plan is required for all ships of 400 gross tonnage and above engaged in international voyages, as mandated by MARPOL Annex VI. It aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from shipping by promoting more efficient ship operations and energy management practices.
