Energy Efficiency Management Plan project will also involve Imabari'shipping and shipbuilding arms Japanese classification society Nippon Kaiji Kyokai (ClassNK) and major ship design and operations software house are to collaborate to provide the most comprehensive solution for Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plans (SEEMP).The SEEMP solution will combine modules to optimise trim, route and speed optimisation and weather routing with an analytical service to offer operational efficiency and decision support. The system is intended to allow owners and operators to respond quickly and adapt operations in real-time to "capitalise on latent efficiencies within operations in order to increase eco-efficiency and reduce fuel consumption as a solution for SEEMP".A statement says: "The collaborative solution builds upon the in-depth understanding of ship performance in practice delivered by two world-leading companies in their respective fields. By sharing their expertise, this co-operation will provide an unrivalled service for ship owners, operators and shipbuilders across the globe seeking to rationalise energy consumption and emissions, reduce fuel costs and find an effective solution for SEEMP, for which regulation will come into force on 1st January 2013, ultimately mitigating the environmental impact of operations."ClassNK and NAPA say that they are working closely with Japan's largest shipbuilder, Imabari Shipbuilding, ...
