Efficiency offers new opportunities

摘要

At the first intermediate or renewal survey after January 2013, all shipowners will be obliged to have a ship energy efficiency management plan (SEEMP) in place for each of vessel over 400gt that they operate. Part of the process of drawing up SEEMPs will involve use of the energy efficiency operational indicator (EEOI), guidelines for which are contained in the IMO document MEPC.1/Circ.684.
