SEEMP - Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan

The Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP) is a mandatory document under MARPOL Annex VI Regulation 22 for all vessels of 400 gross tons and above. Adopted by the IMO through Resolution MEPC.282(70), the SEEMP requires every ship to establish a plan for monitoring and improving its energy efficiency across all operational aspects—from voyage optimisation and speed management to fuel handling, maintenance practices, and cargo operations. For superyachts, where fuel consumption is substantial and environmental credentials increasingly matter to owners and charterers, the SEEMP is both a legal requirement and a practical management tool. This professional package gives you a complete, flag state-ready SEEMP and the supporting documents to implement it properly.

Who Needs This

Any superyacht of 400GT and above is required to carry a SEEMP on board. This applies to both commercially operated charter yachts and private vessels. Port state control officers under all major MOU regimes (Paris, Tokyo, Caribbean, Indian Ocean) may inspect the SEEMP during routine port calls, and the absence of a current, vessel-specific plan is a recordable deficiency. Flag states conducting ISM audits will also verify that a compliant SEEMP is in place. Newly built yachts require a SEEMP before their delivery survey; existing vessels that have never had a professionally prepared plan should address this now.

What’s Included

SEEMP Template

A fully structured Word document covering all three parts of the IMO SEEMP framework: Part I (Ship-specific operational measures and targets), Part II (Data collection system under MARPOL Annex VI Regulation 22A), and Part III (CII rating and implementation plan — applicable to vessels ≥5,000GT of specific ship types; not currently applicable to yachts, but included for completeness). The template is designed for superyacht operations, addressing fuel monitoring across propulsion, generation, and hotel loads.

Companion Guide

A step-by-step completion guide covering every section of the SEEMP. Explains how to establish baseline fuel consumption, how to set realistic efficiency targets, how to structure the monitoring and review cycle, and what flag state surveyors look for during SEEMP inspections. Includes worked examples from superyacht operations.

3 Quick Reference Cards

Laminate-ready cards covering: SEEMP Overview and Regulatory Requirements, Voyage Optimisation Best Practices, and Fuel Monitoring Procedures. Designed for bridge and engine control room display.

EEOI Calculator

An Excel-based Energy Efficiency Operational Indicator calculator pre-formatted for superyacht data inputs—voyage distances, fuel types and quantities, and reporting period summaries. Produces EEOI figures in the format required for flag state and class reporting.

Crew Brief

A one-page summary of the SEEMP requirements, energy efficiency objectives, and crew responsibilities. Suitable for safety briefings and crew induction packs.

Engineer Familiarisation Checklist

A structured checklist ensuring that engineering officers are familiar with the vessel’s fuel monitoring systems, the SEEMP data collection requirements, and the EEOI calculation process.

Regulatory Compliance

This SEEMP template satisfies MARPOL Annex VI Regulation 22 and the IMO guidelines in MEPC.282(70). It is structured to meet the audit requirements of the Red Ensign Group (Cayman Islands, BVI, Gibraltar, Bermuda, Isle of Man, United Kingdom), Marshall Islands, Malta, and Bahamas flag states. The data collection format is compatible with IMO Data Collection System (DCS) reporting requirements under Regulation 22A.

Why Choose Our Template

This SEEMP was developed by experienced maritime professionals with hands-on experience of MARPOL Annex VI compliance across multiple flag states and vessel types. The template reflects the practical realities of superyacht energy management—variable deployment patterns, diverse fuel loads, and the complexity of monitoring consumption across propulsion, generation, and hotel systems. The EEOI Calculator removes the ambiguity from the data collection process. The companion guide ensures that completing the plan is straightforward, not a guessing exercise. When MARPOL Annex VI or IMO DCS requirements change, the package is updated and existing customers receive the revision at no additional cost.
