SEEMP

Step aboard the bridge of an LNG carrier and dive deep into the critical world of Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plans (SEEMP) — a dynamic, evolving framework transforming how ships operate to meet the global push for sustainability.

In this episode, we unravel SEEMP from three vital angles:

• Part 1: The strategic "Plan-Do-Check-Act" cycle that turns every voyage into a live experiment in energy efficiency, focusing on speed optimization, boil-off gas management, and onboard training tailored specifically for LNG carriers.
• Part 2: The backbone of SEEMP — rigorous data collection and verification. Learn how chief engineers meticulously gather and report fuel consumption, distance, and operational hours to ensure accuracy and transparency amid challenging administrative demands.
• Part 3: The game-changing Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) rating system — what it means for your ship’s environmental compliance, market reputation, and how corrective action plans enforce continuous improvement when ratings slip.

Discover the complexities behind measuring efficiency: from weather and operational constraints to debates over metrics like AER vs. EEOI. Hear real-world challenges faced by crews and verifiers alike, and why proactive, near real-time CII monitoring is becoming the industry standard.

Whether you’re a chief engineer, shipping professional, or sustainability advocate, this episode offers a comprehensive, practical guide to mastering SEEMP — your vessel’s essential roadmap for operational excellence and decarbonization.

Press play now to navigate the future of sustainable shipping, where every decision on deck and in the engine room shapes the planet’s tomorrow.
