A new industry survey by the World Maritime University (WMU) aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP) and understand the perspectives of various shipping stakeholders on its implementation, reports Safety4sea.
About the study
The “Study on the Implementation of the IMO Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP) Framework” survey, conducted by the WMU on behalf of the International Maritime Organization, seeks to gain insights from various shipping stakeholders regarding SEEMP’s implementation. To achieve this, the survey investigates:
- The energy management system in an organizational context and the impacts of SEEMP Part I (since 2013).
- Issues with the IMO data collection system (SEEMP Part II).
- The use of the Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) as an operational efficiency indicator and as a benchmark for ships’ energy rating (SEEMP Part III).
All shipping stakeholders are invited to participate, categorized into three groups (G1, G2, G3), with questions tailored for each group. Participation is anonymous, and data will be kept confidential. No personal data or identifying information will be shared with third parties. The anonymized data will be retained for 10 years.
Focus Key Areas:
- SEEMP’s Impact on Decarbonization: How do you view SEEMP’s impact on shipping decarbonization a decade after its implementation and one year after its enhancement?
- Framework Issues: What are the problems with the SEEMP framework? Is SEEMP considered a plan or a system?
- Data Collection Performance: How is the data collection system performing?
- Key Indicators: AER or EEOI: which indicator will have the greatest effect on decarbonization?
- External Factors on CII: What are the possible effects of external factors on CII results?
- Improvement Suggestions: What are your suggestions for improving the current status of SEEMP triple parts?
Stakeholder Groups:
G1 Group: Entities responsible for legislation and regulatory activities, including:
- Flag Administrations
- Member State Delegations
- Port State Control (PSC)
- Classification Societies
G2 Group: Stakeholders involved in the direct implementation and adherence to policies, including:
- Ship Owners
- Ship Operators
- Seafarers
G3 Group: Stakeholders who observe, support, or influence the maritime industry, such as:
- Charterers
- Cargo Owners
