These components play a critical role in the continuous cycle to improve ship energy management.
1.1 Ship Specific Measures
Understanding that the energy efficiency of ship operations
does not necessarily depend on single ship management
1. PLANNING only, the company co-ordinates with many stake holders
including ship repair yards, ship owners, operators,
charterers, etc. to implement the relevant sections of the
SEEMP to the extent practically possible.
1.2 Training
Though goal setting is not a regulatory requirement towards improving the energy efficiency the Company may
set goals in the annual reviews, in the form of a percentage improvement over the previous year’s performance,
which may include though not limited to the following areas:
a) Specific Target of ‘Energy Efficiency Operational Indicator’ (EEOI).
-EEOI- the various energy

efficiency programs implemented
ENERGY The period of data collection from the Company Vessels shall
- Cargo amount
EEOI is a measure of the energy efficiency of a vessel expressed in terms of tonnes of CO2 emitted in transporting a
tonne of cargo one nautical mile over either a given period of time and could be monitored from CMAP
Environmental Performance Reports.
The EEOI which is directly proportional to the fuel consumed is calculated based on the type and quantity of fuel
consumed, using the IMO formula given in MEPC.1/Circ. 684 as below.
N AND − Comparing the last two years EEOI annual values of the
vessel from last two annual management review reports
IMPROVEM for controling EEOI reduction target is provided.
Full Service Speed = XX RPM's weather neutral (vessels actual speed will
fluctuate basis weather/currents etc.)
Most Economical Speed = This is the minimum speed that the vessel can
operate at on a continuous basis (e.g. where you have sufficient steam

Orders need to run the main engine auxiliary blower.)
Proceed basis xx.xx knots = Vessel permitted to adjust RPM's basis WSNP
and min/max rpm's as needed to stay within +/- .5 knots of ordered speed
if there no different order from the Charterers and the operators.
Adjust speed for timed arrival = Adjust RPM's closest to most economical
speed in order to arrive prior to or at a specific time.
The purpose of the performance trial is to ascertain the consumption
at a given speed so that the predicted consumption can be accurately
estimated for future voyages. The trials can also identify possible
1.3.4 Performance causes of changes in efficiency.
Trials For new builds, indicative fuel consumption is provided for wide speed
range and not just for the contractual point of power/speed. In future,
these trials may be used to schedule propeller cleanings and hull
fouling assessments.
The daily performance of the vessel during the voyage is tracked with
regard to speed, consumptions etc. on board and in Office from noon
1.3.5 Voyage reports.
Performance Upon completion of the voyage, the technical department will review
Monitoring the voyage abstract to identify abnormal deviations in fuel
consumptions taking into account charter party requirements
and prevailing conditions during the voyage and seek clarifications
from the vessel.
2. OPTIMIZED
SHIP
HANDLING
• Eg. It is generally better for the Vessels to sail with minimum draft
and slightly trimmed by the bow, to the extent possible. Intact
stability, damage stability, tank arrangements, hull bending and
sheering permissible loads, minimum propeller immersion and vessels
course yawning etc. often limit the ability of the ship to sail in the
most optimum draft and trim.
2.2 Optimized Rudder And Heading Control/Auto-Pilot Function
Hull and propeller optimization can be done using advanced analysis tools. Computer-aided design (CAD) software
can assist in optimizing the hull and propeller of a ship. Additionally, ship performance monitoring systems and
sensors can be used for hull and propeller optimization, allowing ship performance to be continuously monitored and
improved.
4.1 Main and Aux. Engine Monitoring and
4. Optimization
Factors that can influence this decision include bunker cost, quality, the absence of
firm orders, and cargo heating requirements. Various blend components can keep
heavy material in suspension that could precipitate out over time or when mixed with
dissimilar bunker fuels. These heavy particulates can fall out of suspension and cause
heavy sludge generation in the purifier. Good onboard bunker fuel management is
essential and the following best practices should be applied as far as practical.
Treatment of fuel oil is to be carried out in accordance with maker’s
advice so as to ensure optimum performance from the combustion of
4.3.1 Fuel Oil Additives fuel. Various fuel oil additives are available in the market. Addition of
certain additives may improve combustion and overall engine
performance and efficiency.
4.4 Boiler Performance Management
When operating boilers, the engineering staff should survey and optimize
boilers parameters according to manufacturer sets and adjustments.
The correct boiler should be used for the expected demand. When boilers are
needed, the operator should ensure that they are not started too far in
advance from the time they are needed.
Vessels should avoid dumping steam to avoid getting alarms throughout the
night.
7. Optimize bunker tank heating management is essential and the following best practices should be applied as
far as practical.
In order to reduce fuel consumption and reduce heating costs, the
cargo is to be heated optimally during the passage and prior arrival
taking into account the following considerations:
Cargo details including specific heat and pour point. Pour point is
OPTIMIZATI the lowest temperature at which it will pour or flow under
ON prescribed conditions.
1. Proper planning and coordination: Proper planning and coordination between the ship's crew, port operators,
and cargo handlers can help reduce the time spent on cargo operations, minimizing fuel consumption and
emissions.
2. Optimal loading and stowage: Ensuring that cargo is loaded and stowed in an optimal manner can help reduce
the ship's draft and improve stability, resulting in lower fuel consumption and emissions.
3. Minimizing ballast water usage: Ballast water is used to stabilize the ship during cargo operations, but
excessive use can result in higher fuel consumption and emissions. Therefore, efforts should be made to
minimize ballast water usage wherever possible.
4. Using energy-efficient equipment: The use of energy-efficient cargo handling equipment such as cranes, conveyors, and
pumps can help reduce fuel consumption and emissions during cargo operations.
5. Waste management: Proper waste management during cargo operations can help reduce the amount of waste
generated and lower emissions from waste incineration.
6. Monitoring fuel consumption and emissions: Monitoring fuel consumption and emissions during cargo operations can
help identify areas for improvement and ensure that the ship is operating in an environmentally responsible manner. By
considering these aspects, cargo loading and discharging can be carried out in a manner that maximizes fuel efficiency
and controls emissions.

6.1 IMPROVEMENT IN VESSEL
DESIGN
The hull shape plays a significant role in vessel energy efficiency. A
vessel with a streamlined hull design can reduce drag, leading to
improved fuel efficiency. Designing the hull with optimized waterline
beam, depth, and draft can help to reduce wave-making resistance and
enhance fuel economy.
Companies can install monitoring systems to track fuel consumption, electricity usage, and other
energy-related data. This can help identify areas of high energy consumption and provide insights
for optimization.
Companies can invest in energy-efficient technologies such as LED lighting, waste heat recovery
systems, and advanced power management systems. These technologies can significantly reduce
energy consumption and operating costs.

All cabin lighting including toilet lights to be switched off when not
required.
Use of ship’s laundry equipment must be regulated so that sufficient clothes are available for using laundry machine
and it is not used for washing just one or two pieces of clothes.
MEASURES generally aimed at improving air quality in the port area, may be
more carbon efficient.
TO Ensure that all pumps run at the discharge pressure they are
IMPROVE designated for. If the discharge pressure is too low it can be
EMERGENC adjusted by throttling the pressure side. Such adjustment will led to
lower energy consumption, less maintenance and longer pump life.
