Answer
For SEEMP implementation check, as Chief Engineer I will verify that the measures written in the SEEMP are actually being followed onboard, not just that the document is available.
I will check:
- Approved SEEMP Part I, II and III, as applicable.
- Actual implementation of energy-efficiency measures such as:
- optimum speed/RPM,
- trim optimization,
- weather routing,
- hull/propeller cleaning,
- engine performance monitoring,
- auxiliary machinery optimization.
- Fuel-consumption data against BDN, tank soundings, flowmeters, noon reports and logbooks.
- Proper implementation of IMO DCS under SEEMP Part II.
- Under Part III, check progress of the 3-year CII implementation plan.
- Monitor Attained CII vs Required CII and expected A–E rating.
- Check objective evidence: PMS records, performance reports, cleaning records, calibration records and CII calculations.
- If targets are not achieved, carry out self-evaluation and corrective action.
As Chief Engineer I will check SEEMP implementation by comparing the approved SEEMP measures with actual onboard practices. I will verify fuel-consumption data, engine performance, speed and voyage optimisation, trim, hull and propeller condition, auxiliary consumption and maintenance records. For Part III, I will check progress against the ship-specific three-year implementation plan and continuously monitor attained CII against required CII. I will verify objective evidence such as logbooks, noon reports, DCS records, PMS and fuel records. If the measures are not giving the expected result, I will carry out self-evaluation, identify the cause and revise or strengthen the action plan.”
| SEEMP Part | Scope & Applicability | Verification & Certification Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Part I | Ship Management Plan (All ships ≥400 GT) | Non-statutory verification. Verified during ISM Safety Management Audits (DOC/SMC) to ensure energy management procedures are active. |
| Part II | Fuel Oil Data Collection Plan (IMO DCS) (All ships ≥5,000 GT) | Confirmation of Compliance (CoC) issued by Flag/RO. Updated per MEPC.395(82) to capture granular transport work and berth power consumption. |
| Part III | Operational Carbon Intensity Plan (CII) (Trading ships ≥5,000 GT) | Confirmation of Compliance (CoC) on board. Subject to Periodical Verifications (every 3 years), Annual Data Audits, and mandatory Company Audits per Res. MEPC.347(78). |
