IMO SEEMP (Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan) Verification Testing
The International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP) is a regulatory framework aimed at enhancing the energy efficiency of ships, thereby reducing fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. This service focuses on verifying compliance with SEEMP requirements through rigorous testing protocols tailored to marine engine and propulsion systems.
Our IMO SEEMP verification testing includes a comprehensive suite of procedures designed to ensure that ship operators meet international standards for energy management. This service is essential for quality managers, compliance officers, R&D engineers, and procurement teams responsible for ensuring their vessels are in full regulatory compliance.
The process begins with a detailed review of the vessel’s SEEMP documentation. Our team cross-references this against IMO guidelines to ensure all necessary measures are documented and implemented. Subsequent testing involves on-site inspections of critical components such as engines, propellers, and auxiliary systems. We use advanced instrumentation to measure fuel consumption rates under various operational conditions.
Testing also includes evaluating the effectiveness of onboard monitoring systems that track energy usage in real-time. This allows us to assess whether the vessel is adhering to its predefined targets for reducing fuel consumption and optimizing performance. Our reports provide detailed insights into areas where improvements can be made, along with recommendations based on best practices from leading maritime companies.
