Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan Chapter One:

1.Introduction &User Guidelines:Step-by-Step SEEMPFrom 1 January 2013, all ships over 400GT on international

voyages will be required to carry a Ship Energy Eciency

Management Plan (SEEMP), detailing the operational and

technical measures that will be implemented on board to

improve eciency and therefore reduce fuel consumption.

SEEMP is a ‘soft’ regulation: there is no mechanism to force or even

incentivise ship operators to implement the measures listed in their

SEEMPs. Monitoring and enforcement is limited to verifying simply that

the SEEMP exists-see more detail on the regulation in Section 2.

On the face of it, compliance with the SEEMP regulation should be

straightforward, and indeed generic SEEMPs that can be quickly

tailored to give the appearance of a customised plan are available. As

these typically follow the format set out in the IMO Guidelines on the

Development of a SEEMP*, they ‘pre-comply’ with both elements of

the Regulation – to carry a SEEMP and for it to have been developed inaccordance with the Guidelines.

The usual rationale for a ‘bare compliance’ approach to regulation is

to keep costs to a minimum, but SEEMPs have the potential to save

money for operators by reducing fuel bills. The more thoroughly one is

designed and implemented, the greater the potential savings, but even

a simple SEEMP, followed properly, will give benets.

MEPC.213(63),

Ship Energy Efficiency Management PlanShip Energy Efficiency Management PlanChapter One:

« Even a simple SEEMP, followedproperly, will give benets. »

Given that there is a requirement to develop a SEEMP, many operators

will wish to examine how they can capture the eciency gains inpractice. But the regulation is so open-ended, and the spectrum of

potential measures to improve energy eciency is so broad – ranging

from small, no-cost initiatives such as encouraging crew to switch o

lights and appliances, to the installation of major pieces of retrot

equipment such as waste heat recovery systems – that it can be

dicult to know where to begin.

This publication is designed to be a simple and practical step-by-step

guide to developing a SEEMP that balances operators’ desire for a

straightforward means of complying with the SEEMP regulation with

their wish to reap the benets of energy eciency measures SEEMP.

Through following these guidelines and utilising the templates, any

operator should be able to create a tailored. ship–specic SEEMP with

ease. The manual is designed to be placed on–board the ship and

contain the actual SEEMP that the crew use.

Remember: this is an ocial ship’s document and may be required to

be presented to Port State Control.

The more costly and t echnologically complex measures of course

require a signicant amount of assessment and evaluation before

implementation. But this should not blind operators to the fact thatthere are many measures that deliver tangible benets and can be

implemented very quickly.

These measures could form the basis of the initial SEEMP that is

required from the beginning of 2013, with more extensive measures

evaluated in subsequent iterations, using the IMO’s recommended

cycle of planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation

-detailed further in Section 3 .

Chapter One:

« This publication is designed tobe a simple and practical step-by-step guide to developing aSEEMP that balances operators’

desire for a straightforwardmeans of complying with theSEEMP regulation with their wishto reap the benets of energyeciency measures. »

By ensuring that a number of simple energy-saving measures are

properly implemented and monitored during the initial iteration of

a SEEMP, operators will not only begin to shave costs from their fuel

bills, they will increase awareness of and commitment to energy saving

amongst crew and onshore sta, and, crucially, they will be gathering

the data that will underpin the evaluation of further measures.

Ship Energy Efficiency Management PlanShip Energy Efficiency Management PlanChapter One:

Accordingly in Section 4, which describes possible measures for

inclusion in a SEEMP, the broad areas of ‘Voyage Planning’, ‘Main Engine’,‘Propulsion and Hydrodynamics’ and ‘On-board Power management’ are

split into Quick Wins and Further Investments.

Quick Wins require only modest upfront investment and are

recommended for rst-generation SEEMPs. Further Investments involve

greater capital (monetary) expenditure or assessment of suitability and

are recommended for possible inclusion in later iterations of the SEEMP.

Further Investments are not treated in great depth in this Manual, and not

all potential energy-saving measures have been listed – the focus is on

well-established options, rather than more radical technologies that are

often in earlier stages of technological development. A whole range of

energy-saving measures can be accessed at Fathom-CTech.com, where

ship owners and operators can register free of charge. This includes

descriptions of the technologies as well as analysis of the providers,

products, and estimates of potential fuel savings.

Section 5 shows at a glance which measures are applicable to which ship

types, while Section 6 oers a template for rapid development of a ship-

specic SEEMP.

Note that the measures and suggestions are not an exhaustive list and

should not be treated as such. Not all measures will be applicable to all

vessels and in each situation just those that are right for the ship and the

company should be chosen. A Ship Energy Eciency Management Plan

should be a living document and under constant review. It does not need

to cover every potentially applicable measure in Iteration One.

Chapter Two:

2.The Regulation

2.1 Development of SEEMP regulation

The concept of a voluntary tool to assist ship operators

with energy eciency management has been the least

controversial of the GHG reduction mechanisms considered

by the International Maritime Organization, and the industry

has played a leading role in developing the regulations.

A coalition of the International Chamber of Shipping (ICS), the Baltic

and International Maritime Council (BIMCO), Intercargo, Intertanko and

the Oil Companies International Marine Forum (OCIMF) submitted a

draft Ship Eciency Management Plan to in 2008* and further rened

this draft for an inter-sessional meeting the following year *(2)

Guidelines for development of the Ship Energy Eciency Management

Plan (SEEMP) regulations were agreed at the following session, MEPC 59

in 2009, and circulated* for voluntary application.

The regulations themselves were eventually adopted as an amendmentto MARPOL Annex VI at MEPC 62 in July 2011 as Regulation 22.*

MEPC 63 in February 2012 adopted revised SEEMP Guidelines as

Resolution MEPC.213(63) – 2012 Guidelines for the Development of a

Ship Energy Eciency Management Plan (SEEMP).*
