A new industry survey by the World Maritime University (WMU) aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP) and understand the perspectives of various shipping stakeholders on its implementation.
The “Study on the Implementation of the IMO Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP) Framework” survey, is conducted by the WMU on behalf of the International Maritime Organization. The purpose of this survey is to gain an understanding of the perspectives of various shipping stakeholders regarding the implementation of SEEMP. In order to accomplish this, it would be necessary to investigate:
- Energy management system in an organizational context, and impacts of SEEMP Part I (since 2013)
- Issues with the IMO data collection system (SEEMP part II)
- The use of 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:
- How do you view SEEMP’s impact on shipping decarbonization a decade after its implementation and one year after its enhancement?
- What are the problems with the SEEMP framework? Is SEEMP considered a plan or a system?
- How is the data collection system performing?
- AER or EEOI: which indicator will have the greatest effect on decarbonization?
- What are the possible effects of external factors on CII results?
- What are your suggestions for improving the current status of SEEMP triple parts?
