2. Introduction
2.1 Planning As part of each SEEMP, the ship owner is required to review current practices and energy usage onboard each ship with a view to determining any shortfalls or areas for improvement of energy efficiency. This is a crucial first step to developing an effective management plan and should identify various aspect relating to : Ship-specific measures For example: speed optimization, weather routing, hull maintenance, machinery operation. Company-specific measures For example: improved communication and interaction with other stakeholders, such as charterers in order to assess feasibility of just in time operation or traffic management services for availability of berth etc. Human resource development Awareness and training of personnel is critical in ensuring successful implementation of any measures. Goal setting This aspect is voluntary but serves as a means for a shipowner to provide incentive for energy reduction both at ship level also at corporate level. This is not subject to external inspection. 2.2 Implementation Upon completion of the planning state, a system of how each energy improvement measure is to be implemented needs to be developed. The development of the system can be considered under the planning stage and should set out the tasks required to achieve each

measure along with who is assigned to them. The implementation itself needs to be in accordance with the implementation system and should involve a system of record-keeping. 2.3 Monitoring The only way to assess whether the energy improvement measures are working is to quantitatively monitor each one. A shipowner may have existing systems in place to do this although monitoring should be carried out sing established methods, preferably by an international standard. The SEEMP guidance (MEPC.1/Circ.683) recommends one internationally established tool in particular, that can be sued for monitoring; the Energy Efficiency Operation Indicator (EEOI). This has been developed by the IMO to quantify the energy efficiency of a ship in terms of CO2 production per cargo tonne-nautical mile (g CO2/ t.nm) and its use and calculation is given in MEPC.1/Circ.684. In addition, it suggests that, if appropriate, a Rolling Average Index of the EEOI may be used to monitor energy efficiency of the ship over time. 2.4 Self evaluation and improvement This is the final stage in the cycle and is the means by which each measure can be assessed and the results fed into the planning stage of the next improvement cycle. Selfevaluation and improvement not only identifies how effective each energy improvement measure is, but is also determines whether the process by which it is implemented and monitored is suitable and how it can be improved. Each measure needs to be evaluated individually on a periodic basis and the results should be used to understand the level of improvements seen for each ship.

3. Energy efficiency measures

1. 1.1 Measured for fuel efficient operations Speed optimization Implementation actions a. According to our charter party terms, vessel is encouraged to sail at the optimum speed [ ]. At this speed, engine SFC is optimized. Sailing at other speed is, however, permitted to enable implementation of virtual arrival. b. Virtual implemented. 2. 2.1 Measured optimized handling Optimum trim for ship arrival is Monitoring and recording actions a. Check report of whether routing system for voyages where virtual arrival was implemented and report benefits on next SEEMP review.

Implementation actions a. Trim is adjusted to the optimum values for the planned voyaged speed and vessel draft according to the trim tables onboard, as far as it is practical

Monitoring actions

and

recording

a. From voyage reports, look at speeds under different legs and the voyage trim and check how long the ship is sailing under the optimum trim during sea passage. Sample fuel consumptions for similar legs / speeds and different trims to identify gains.

3. 3.1

Measures for hull and propeller optimization Hull resistance optimization

Implementation actions a. Hull condition is assessed on a quarterly basis during port stays where this is practical through in-water inspection.

Monitoring and recording actions a. Keep records of in-water inspections and identify areas for underwater cleaning.

equipment optimization Main and auxiliary engine optimization

a. Auxiliary engine utilization is optimized by switching to one engine instead of suing both engines at low loads.

a. Auxiliary engine load factors are monitored.

4.2

Heat recovery

a. Water washing is performed on the exhaust gas economizer during major repair periods Implementation actions a. Cargo is being heated to discharge temperature prior to discharge according to cargo heating programme. During voyage, cargo temperature is maintained to safe temperature to avoid coagulation. b. Condition of cargo heating insulation and steam traps is monitored on a 6-month basis and any issues are rectified as soon as this is practical.

a. Not required

5. 5.1

Measured for cargo handling optimization Cargo heating and insulation

Monitoring and recording actions a. Retain records of heating insulation and steam traps inspections to identify areas of repeated issues.

6. 6.1

Measured for energy conservation and awareness Accommodation energy optimization

Implementation actions a. Tube fluorescent lamps (TFLs) are used in all accommodation areas. b. Motion activated light detectors are used in accommodation areas where lighting is not required at all times
