1 IntroductionThere is an increasing focus on reducing the environmental impact of the shipping industry.

As a response to this the International Maritime Organization (IMO) published the “Guidance for thedevelopment of a Ships Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP)”. The purpose of the SEEMP isaccording to IMO “to establish a mechanism for a Company and/or a Ship to improve the energyefficiency of a Ship’s operation”.

The IMO Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) met for its 62 nd session in July 2011.MEPC voted to adopt amendments to MARPOL Annex VI, making the SEEMP mandatory for all vesselsover 400 GT renewing class after 1st of January 2013.

This document constitutes the SEEMP for MV Marineengineering. The SEEMP builds on theguidelines developed by the IMO Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC). The development ofthe SEEMP has been carried out through an evaluation of the current practice and equipment.

Initiatives have been developed from this evaluation process and captured in this SEEMP. Thenature of operations of a vessel of ship type such as MV Marineengineering, which see extended periodsof low power requirements on DP followed by an escalation as the ship moves to a new location, makesetting targets for improvement difficult. The ability to do so, and the relevance of such targets, willimprove overtime as Data becomes available. It is the intent of COMPANY for continuous improvement through periodical review of this Plan.

The SEEMP has been prepared internally by Marine department for COMPANY. The Marinedepartment made up of a Technical and an Operational elements benefit from many years’ experienceboth from an onshore ship management as well as serving in a senior capacity on a variety of vesseltypes.

1.1 Mission Statement

COMPANY recognizes that improved energy efficiency will make a valuablecontribution to reducing global carbon emissions, while at the same time reducingcosts by lowering fuel consumption. COMPANY also seeks to meet its’ customersincreasing demands with respect to reduced environmental impact, and will striveto comply with all relevant legislation, exceeding statutory requirements whereverpossible.

1.2 SEEMP document descriptionThe SEEMP has the following Sections:

1. Introduction : Describes the background for developing SEEMPs, and presents the COMPANY’S motivation and goals.

2. Application of the SEEMP: Outlines the purpose of the document and the way it is supposed to beutilized. Describes the four stages in the development and utilization of the SEEMP.

3. Baseline calculation: Describes the purpose of establishing a baseline and the way it is conducted.4. Goals and ambitions: Preferably, all goals should be SMART, i.e. goals that are specific, measurable,

attainable, relevant and time bound.5. Measures: Defines the scope of all the relevant measures as well as a goal for each measure.

Includes information on how the implementation shall be monitored and roles and responsibilities.

2 Application of the SEEMPThe SEEMP is a ship-specific tool developed to help manage the energy usage on MV

Marineengineering. This Plan shall be subject to an annual review to ensure that assumptions made andgoals set, remain valid and realistic. Performance against these goals will drive any requirement for newor amended initiatives. Monitoring of Ships is a fundamental part of this process and the mechanism andform that allows for this is described in this plan.

The development and utilization of the SEEMP consists of four phases. These are planning,implementation, monitoring and review. These phases, and how they relate to each other, are illustratedin Figure 1. This process is shown to be one of continuous improvement with the loop back to thePlanning and Implementation stages facilitated by the Monitoring and Review processes.

Figure 1: Illustration of the continuous process of SEEMP utilization.

The Planning Phase is considered to contain the following elements:� The generation of the Ships Specific SEEMP, this requires the identification of potential initiatives;� Identification for any additional Training requirements;� Assimilation into Company’s Management system any processes that facilitate the SEEMP implementation;� Setting of Goals or KPI’s. This requires the initial review of any available Data and consideration of Ships

Operations both current and planned.

The COMPANY recognize that expertise exists in several departments and the input from each ofthese is required to recognize all areas where improvement may be made. Within each area initiativesare considered which may provide for a positive improvement in ship efficiency.

These areas are considered to be:� Fuel Efficiency;� Ships Operations;� Energy Conservation and Awareness;� Maintenance and Plant.

Fuel Efficiency

Ship Operations

Energy Conservation and Awareness

Maintenance and Plant

During the development of this SEEMP document, the COMPANY has evaluated the currentstatus of the MV MARINEENGINEERING energy usage, and goals for improvement have been defined.the COMPANY has assessed a number of activities in order to reach these goals, and thereby reducingthe environmental footprint and fuel consumption.

The initiatives have been prioritized depending on an assessment of its level of effort requiredand its associated potential for energy efficiency gain according to the matrix below:

Figure 2: Illustration of the matrix used to give priority to the measures in question.

The Initiatives which are considered to be 1 st priority will be considered first for immediateimplementation. Initiatives with lower priorities are initiated depending upon the planned shipoperations, capabilities of the on and offshore teams to implement at that time, and any otherfactors such as new information of as the result of subsequent review process that elevate theirpriority.

Implementation

The Implementation Stage is considered to have the following elements

� Procedures – this is the assimilation of the requirements of the SEEMP and the onshore processes thatprovide a management and administrative function into the Companies Management system

� Plan Approval – this is the process governing the informing and acceptance of the Plan by onshore andoffshore teams.

� Data Normalization- data received from MV MARINEENGINEERING will be reviewed and processed byOnshore administrative support. Averaged Fuel consumption figures will be fed back to the ship as partof the review process

The Marine Manager-Technical will have the main responsibility for the COMPANY implementationof the improvement initiatives.

This is done by identifying areas for improvement and new initiatives, feeding back these to therelevant departments to allow for the creation of new procedures and processes that facilitate these.

The Marine Manager-Technical shall develop procedures for energy management, defining taskand assigning them to suitably trained and competent personnel. He will also play an important rolein the assessment of impact of suggested initiatives which exist in other departments and feedbackfindings.

Facilitation of these initiatives shall be in accordance with each departmental development andimplementation process. The Marine Manager-Technical shall provide support as required.

Monitoring

Monitoring is considered to have the following three elements:� Audit – This involves the inspection and audit of the ship,its crew and equipment to ensure that it is optimised

in accordance with the requirements of the SEEMP. This will take in both Technical and Operationalaspects.

� Survey – Class, flag state and Port Authority surveys are expected covering the IMO MARPOL requirementsfor the SEEMP and Efficient operations

� Data recovery – Data in the form of Fuel consumption, maintenance reports and feedback from ships crew

A fuel consumption baseline will be determined for each ship and for each generic operation.These operation shall be considered to be:

� In Port/Repair Facility/Moored operations; [FC m]� On DP Operations; [FCdp]� On Transit. [FCt]

Data pertaining to Fuel Consumption shall be recovered from the Monthly Consumption spreadsheet provided by each vessel which takes the form of consumption in M3 per 24 hours.

This spreadsheet shall have an initial column to demonstrate nature of current operations.

The current operation shall be considered to be that at the time of completion of the logsheetirrespective of other operations which may have occurred within the 24 hour period. It is assumedthat through

Mean Fuel consumption will be calculated for each quarter. Comparison shall be made betweenQ1.Q4 and Q2.Q3 to reduce impact of environmental conditions.

At the end of Each Quarter Marine-Technical administration will feed back to all interested parties

the results of Mean Fuel Consumption evaluation

The planned initiatives are to be assessed on an Annual basis by the Marine Manager- Technicalalong with the Ship Marine Superintendent-Technical and Marine-Operations team in liaison withthe crew on board.

Review

The review process is considered to have 4 main elements:� Comparison of Operations – The performance when the vessel is carrying out similar operations is

considered. This review process may result in lessons learnt and potential future improvements eitherevident or suggested.

� Data Quality Assessment-The relevance of the data will be checked and where necessary, alternaterequirements considered.

� Data recovery Method Assessment – The method of recovering the data wil be assessed and an alternatemethod considered where necessary

� Procedure Review – Including the SEEMP, as part of the continuous improvement process

Self-evaluation procedures must be established in order to obtain full benefit of the SEEMP andensure continuous improvement of the Ships energy efficiency. The ship Marine Superintendent-Technical may consider feeding back to the vessel during the weekly Maintenance Planning meetingsany concerns that become apparent through the process of generating the data for the quarterly FuelConsumption review. Significant deviations from baselines should be reported to Marine Manager-Technical

By reviewing and reporting on the SEEMP in this manner, the document becomes a live documentwhich at any time reflects the current status of the energy efficiency initiatives for the MVMARINEENGINEERING, and as such becomes an integral part of the day to day operations. Thisensures motivation, drive, attention and internal anchoring for all parties to improving the energyefficiency performance.

SEEMP review will be carried out by the Marine Manager-Technical on an Annual basis. Anychanges in the implementation status of the initiatives will be evaluated and any necessary changes areto be recorded and implemented in a revision of the SEEMP. Should any initiatives prove ineffective orunfeasible, then these shall be removed from the SEEMP. Should any new initiatives be proposed anddeemed appropriate to include in the SEEMP by the Marine Manager-Technical, then these are to beamended in its appropriate chapter.

The review should taken into consideration integration with the Company ISO 9001/14001 initiatives.Input from QA/QHSE team should be sought

The SEEMP provides a structured approach to reduced fuel consumption, and thereby one of themost important environmental impacts caused by the shipping industry is addressed. Through theSEEMP routines for continuous improvement increased awareness are created among the crew, aprocedure for follow-up of continuous improvement systems by the the COMPANY’s management isalso established.

An Annual full assessment of the SEEMP will be conducted and reported to Senior Managementas part of Marine departments input into the Annual Management Meeting. Included in this will befeedback of experiences from the crew and the performance towards the baseline. The assessment willensure alignment of the SEEMP with the COMPANY’S overall environmental strategy and goals. Basedon the revision a new SEEMP shall be established to be followed in an additional 12 months.

1 Baseline calculationThe first step towards improved energy management is to establish a baseline for the currentperformance. The baseline should take into consideration both MV MARINEENGINEERING specific,environmental and operational aspects. In order to establish an accurate basis of comparison the fuelconsumption baseline should ideally be based on real figures collected during operation.

Baseline fuel consumption in different operational modesIn order to create a more specific baseline, the consumption is considered for each of MV

MARINEENGINEERING’s operational modes. Time spent in different operational modes combined withthe consumption in the same modes allows for an estimation of total fuel consumption in eachoperational mode. Such a baseline also allows for a more accurate estimation of the saving potential of

possible measures. A certain measure may have beneficial effect in one or some operational modes.The saving potential of a measure therefore needs to be scaled according to the amount of fuel used inthe relevant operational mode, in order to calculate the effect of the measure on the overall fuelconsumption.

Calculation of Fuel Consumption

Information pertaining to the ships fuel consumption and operation mode is found in the MonthlyConsumptions ships distributed from each vessel.

The Mean fuel consumption in each mode is calculated at the end of each quarter and comparedagainst the Base fuel consumption and KPI goal.

Calculation of Mean Value

Where:FCm = Mean Fuel consumption over the period for the particular mode of operation.n = number of Fuel Consumption readings during period for the particular mode of operation.FCi = Individual Fuel Consumption reading for the particular mode of operation.

The Fuel Consumption Data is Normalised by checking that there are no anomalousreadings, that all consumption is quoted in M3 and cleaned by removal of any data that is lessthan 10% or greater than 90% of the calculated Mean value.

The Quarterly Fuel Consumption figure for each of the three modes of operation is thencalculated using this processed data.

Evaluation of Mean Fuel Consumption ValueTable 1 describes the baseline consumption for the MV MARINEENGINEERING in question. In thecolumns furthest to the right the baseline consumption is used as a starting point for creatinglimits for acceptable consumption. Consumption in the blue range is considered to be satisfactorywhile lower consumption, in the green range, is excellent. Consumption in the red range isconsidered to be too high, and effort should be made to find the reason for the high consumptionand reduce it if possible. Excellent consumption corresponds to XX% of the average while too

high corresponds to XX%.

Table 1: Baseline fuel consumption and performance evaluation in different operation modes ( AllConsumption figures in m3).

The fuel consumption profile given above, consisting of the Operation Mode, operating Period, and fuel consumption data, has been used whenevaluating the potential for increased energy efficiency. This profile will also be used as a baseline for evaluating the reduction in fuel consumption achieved byimplementing the SEEMP measures.

Goals and ambitionsThe COMPANY’s goal for the entire fleet the target is a reduction of fuel consumption of 5 % to the

averaged baseline over a period of 5 years.

In addition each tonne of fuel saved in consumption reduces CO2 emissions by about 3,2 tonnes.

The COMPANY aims to allow for such reduction by a modernisation and upgrade of their fleet, as well asa proactive approach to voyage management

These goals can be achieved by effectively implementing the energy efficiency measures stated in section5. All reasonable actions will be taken in order to reach the defined targets, as long as it does not conflict withsafety or operational constraints.

MeasuresIn Table 2 below the relevant measures are described, along with its priority, a description of the manner andfrequency of which it will be monitored and the goal that is set for each measure.

Explanation of abbreviations describing areas of responsibilities:R Responsible: Indicates that the person is responsible of carrying out the measure according to the scope
