\u2022 The Master and\/or the Chief Engineer were not familiar with the contents and requirements of the Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 The SEEMP Part I did not contain a package of measures to improve the ship’s energy efficiency, and details for their implementation, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

o Improved voyage planning. o Weather routeing. o Just in time arrival. o Speed optimization. o Optimum trim. o Optimum use of rudder and heading. control systems (autopilots). o Hull maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 The package of measures listed in the SEEMP Part I to improve the ship\u2019s energy efficiency was not ship specific.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 There was no evidence that the package of measures listed in the SEEMP Part I to improve the ship\u2019s energy efficiency had been implemented and\/or monitored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 On a ship of 5,000 gross tonnage or above:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

o The SEEMP Part II did not include a description of the ship-specific method to collect, aggregate, and report ship data with regard to annual fuel oil consumption, distance travelled, hours underway and other data required by regulation 22A of MARPOL Annex VI to be reported to the flag administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

o A Statement of Compliance \u2013 Fuel Oil Consumption Reporting had not been issued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

o There were no records of the collection, aggregation, and\/or reporting of ship data with regard to annual fuel oil consumption, distance travelled, hours underway and other data required by regulation 22A of MARPOL Annex VI to the flag administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

o Records of fuel consumptions did not include all the fuel oil consumed on board, regardless of whether the ship was underway or not:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25aa By the main engines, auxiliary engines, gas turbines, boilers and inert gas generator, if fitted, and any other fuel consumer. \u25aa For each type of fuel oil consumed e.g. HFO, DO, LNG etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Guidelines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      HUMAN<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      The Inspector will interview the Master and\/or the Chief Engineer to verify their familiarity with the contents and requirements of the SEEMP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
