Q

The ECA (Emission Control areas) established are:

A

34
Q

What is the Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP) and who does it apply to?

A

International Energy Efficiency (IEE) Certificate. All vessels of 400 GT and above are required to hold a valid IEE.

The IEE Certificate is valid for the life of the vessel, unless the vessel undergoes a major conversion or changes Flag.

All vessels of 400 GT and above are required to carry a Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP) and be issued with an International Energy Efficiency (IEE) Certificate.

The SEEMP is the element of the revised Annex VI that establishes a mechanism for operators to improve the energy efficiency of ships during their operations.

All ships over 400GT engaged in international voyages are required to keep a vessel specific SEEMP on board developed in line with the IMO guidelines noted above. The SEEMP is intended to be a living document that considers how a vessels energy efficiency can be maintained and improved throughout the vessels operating life.

The SEEMP should be developed in such a way as to empower the vessels crew to improve energy efficiency where possible noting that the safe operation of the vessel must remain paramount at all times.
