Introduction to this document

Checklist scope and purpose
Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP) is mandatory for ships over 400 GT from the 1st of January 2013. To assist clients with developing a SEEMP which reflects IMO Guidelines (MEPC.1/Circ. 683) (hereinafter referred to as the Guidelines), Lloyds Register has prepared this SEEMP Development Checklist. The following checklist and notes are intended as a guide to clients, to facilitate the collection of information about the energy efficiency practices and measures onboard the vessel which the SEEMP is developed for. In all cases, reference should be made to the Guidelines for specific advice on the technical aspects of the SEEMP.

1.2

Checklist structure
This checklist is structured as follows: Planning, implementation and monitoring This section contains non-technical questions in order to ensure that the SEEMP reflects recommendations contained within the Guidelines. Energy efficiency measures and practices This section contains a list of typical energy efficiency measures and good practices. It must be noted that the list is not exhaustive nor is it required that the SEEMP includes all of the suggested measures. In many cases, the most effective SEEMPs may contain a small number measures that have the greatest impact on increasing energy efficiency. There is also a risk that too many measures may become unmanageable and difficult to implement. Energy efficiency measures and practices are separated into the following categories: Fuel efficient operations Optimised ship handling Hull and propulsion Machinery and equipment Cargo handling optimisation Energy conservation and awareness

1.3

How to use this checklist

This checklist is designed to facilitate the collection of information necessary for preparing a SEEMP. It is based on the requirements found on the Guidelines and uses the same structure and logical order. As some aspects of the SEEMP are directly related to ship personnel while others are more relevant to shore personnel, completing this checklist should be a joint effort. Ultimately, this checklist can be used as an input during the development of the SEEMP. Please note that this checklist is designed so that it can be filled electronically, and it only allows entering information in specific fields.

1.4

Completing the checklist

A number of measures and actions are listed under each category. For each of the measures, the following 3 options are available: Yes: this means the measure is already implemented on the ship No: this means the measure is not implemented, but it is applicable on this ship N/A: this means the measure is not implemented and it is not applicable on this ship For the measures that the answer was Yes, supporting evidence and documentation may be required in line with the Guidelines. Recommendations as to the evidence or documentation that can be suitable to each measure are made, but these recommendations are not prescriptive. For the measures that the answer was No or N/A, no further evidence is necessary. However, some energy efficiency opportunities may exist and those can be further explored during the development phase for potential inclusion within the SEEMP. Two additional columns are available for entering the responsible person(s) and additional comments for each measure. Also, at the end of each category there is space to add measures which have not been included. The process of completing this checklist is presented in the following flowchart:
