Ship Energy Efficiency Management
A five-day course on reducing fuel consumption and meeting ship energy efficiency regulation, covering the IMO SEEMP framework, EEXI and CII compliance, energy measurement and baselines, operational and technical efficiency measures, fuel data reporting, and fleet performance management. Participants learn to cut fuel cost with measured evidence.
Introduction
Fuel is the largest controllable cost in ship operation, and it is also the measure regulators now use to judge the industry. The IMO's Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index and Carbon Intensity Indicator turned fuel consumption from an operational concern into a compliance obligation with a rating attached. This Ship Energy Efficiency Management Training Course gives ship officers, technical superintendents, and fleet managers a complete working method for that task. Participants learn the SEEMP framework, energy baseline and measurement, operational efficiency measures, technical retrofits, data collection and reporting, and fleet performance management.
Ship Energy Efficiency Management Course Objectives
- Apply the IMO Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP) framework.
- Apply EEXI and CII requirements to vessel compliance planning.
- Establish energy baselines and consumption measurement methods.
- Apply voyage optimisation: routing, speed, and weather routing.
- Apply trim, ballast, and hull condition efficiency measures.
- Apply engine and machinery efficiency: tuning, load, and monitoring.
- Evaluate technical measures: hull coatings, propellers, and energy-saving devices.
- Apply the IMO Data Collection System for fuel oil consumption reporting.
- Apply alternative fuels and shore power basics to decarbonisation planning.
- Measure performance with EEDI, CII rating, and fuel consumption per tonne-mile.
