Current Regulations (SEEMP & IMO DCS)

• Application: Ships of 5,000GT and above,engaged in international voyage

• Reporting period:
Calendar year, i.e. 1 January until 31 December inclusive

• Requirements for IMO DCS：

1. Revisions of SEEMP to add the Ship Fuel Oil Consumption Data
Collection Plan (DCP)which includes a description of the methodology for
data collecting and the reporting processes.
2. Data collection on board from 2019.
3. Reporting the collected data to the Administration or RO.
4. Verification of the reporting data by the Administration or RO.
5. Retaining the Statement of Compliance issued by administrator or RO
onboard, and keeping the relevant data.
Technical Information(TEC-1139) provides general explanations of the requirements
on IMO DCS as well as the relevant procedures for its implementation

Data Collection Plan (SEEMP part II)
• SEEMP shall include DCP: Data Collection Plan in accordance with MEPC.282(70)
• Confirmation of Flag/RO is necessary prior to data collection
※ Existing Ships：By 31st December 2018
※ New ships on or after 1 March 2018: By the delivery date

IMO DCS (Fuel reporting)
Data collection on-board
Data to be collected according to developed DCP from
1 January, 2019.

• Fuel oil consumed by each fuel type

– Method 1 : Bunker Delivery Notes (BDN)
FOCannual = ROBcalendar-start + S BDN – ROBcalendar-end
– Method 2 : Flow meter
FOCannual = S FOCdaily (flow meter)
– Method 3 : Fuel tank monitoring
FOCannual = S FOCdaily (tank reading)

• Distance travelled over ground in nautical miles

• Hours underway
※”Distance travelled” and “hours underway” should be
aggregated duration “while the ship is underway under its
own propulsion” as defined

Short-term Measures for GHG Reduction

1. EEXI Technical Approach

2. SEEMP Update
Operational Approach
3. CII Rating
CII: Carbon Intensity Indicator

Proposals for Operational Approach by the stakeholders in MEPC75

SEEMP Update (periodical Audit) Mandatory Speed/FOC limitation

Fuel consumption rating
（Shipowners country, Finland, （EU, Environmental Organization,
（China） Island countries）
Japan）

Gentle strict

Outcome of MEPC76

1. Adopted CII related guidelines

1. Guidelines on operational carbon intensity indicators and
the calculation methods (CII guidelines, G1)

2. Guidelines on the reference lines for use with operational

carbon intensity indicators (CII Reference line guidelines,
G2)

3. Guidelines on the operational carbon intensity reduction

factors relative to reference lines (CII Reduction factor
guidelines, G3)

4. Guidelines on the operational carbon intensity rating of

ships (CII Rating Guidelines, G4)

6
Outcome of MEPC76

CII Rating（5000GT and above / EEDI applied ship types）

➢ Rating each vessels by CII from 2023 consumption data (CII

Guideline, G1)

➢ CII and “A” – “E” rating will be added on SOC of IMODCS in

accordance with Reference Line (G2), Reduction Factor (G3)
and Rating guideline (G4)

➢ Low rated vessels (“E” or “D” on 3 consecutive years) should

develop a plan of corrective actions and the plan should be
approved by the Administration or RO

7
Outcome of MEPC76
2. Consideration of following guidelines are postponed;

1. Some correction factors and voyage exclusions when

calculating CII of each ship

2. Update of SEEMP guidelines

(SEEMP to be updated before 1.Jan.2023)

• Periodical Audit (at ISM audit)

• CII related update

Further information will be updated on ClassNK
Technical Information when any development happens
