1. Introduction
1) The SEEMP Part II has been developed in accordance with the standards described in MARPOL Annex
VI, as amended by Resolution MEPC.278(70), Chapter 4: Regulations on Energy Efficiency for Ships,
Regulations 22.2 and 22A.

2) The SEEMP Part II has been developed taking into account the information contained in Resolution
MEPC.282(70) – 2016 Guidelines for the Development of a SEEMP – as identified by the IMO.

3) Data collected for the current calendar year shall be readily accessible for at least one year from the end
of the current calendar year and shall be made available to the Administration or any organisation duly
authorised by it upon request, as required by MARPOL Annex VI, Chapter 4, Regulation 22A.8.

4) The purpose of the plan is to develop a ship-specific method to collect, aggregate and report ship data
with regard to annual fuel oil consumption, distance travelled, hours underway, and other data required
by Regulation 22A of MARPOL Annex VI to be reported to the Administration or any organisation duly
authorised by it.

5) Pursuant to Regulation 5.4.5 of MARPOL Annex VI, the Administration shall ensure that the ship’s
SEEMP complies with Regulation 22.2 of MARPOL Annex VI prior to collecting any data.

6) The plan has been reviewed by ClassIBS (Isthmus Bureau of Shipping) on behalf of the Flag
Administration and no alteration or revision shall be made to any part of it without the prior approval of
the Administration or ClassIBS.

2. Scope
1) Each ship of 5,000 GT and above shall have on board a ship fuel oil consumption data collection plan
describing the methodology that will be used to collect the data required by Regulation 22A.1 of
MARPOL Annex VI and the processes that will be used to report the data to the ship’s Administration or
any organisation duly authorised by it.

2) A copy of the approved data collection plan shall be provided on board and this shall be done prior to
collecting data under Regulation 22A of MARPOL Annex VI in order to ensure the methodology and
processes are in place prior to the beginning of the ship’s first reporting period.

3. Objectives
The data collection plan contains the following information:

1) Description of the method used to measure annual fuel oil consumption.

2) Description of the method used to measure distance travelled.

3) Description of the method used to measure hours underway.

4) Description of the method used to aggregate data.

5) Description of the data quality control measures.

6) Description of the processes that will be used to report the data.

4. Methodology for collecting data on fuel oil consumption
Fuel oil means any fuel delivered to and intended for combustion purposes for propulsion or operation on
board a ship, including gas, distillate, and residual fuels.
Fuel oil consumption shall include all the fuel oil consumed on board – including but not limited to the fuel oil
consumed by the main engines, auxiliary engines, gas turbines, boilers, and inert gas generator – for each
type of fuel oil consumed, regardless of whether a ship is underway or not.
The types of fuel as defined in Resolution MEPC.245(66), as amended, are shown in Appendix A.
If fuel oils are used that do not fall into one of the categories as described in Resolution MEPC.245(66), as
amended, and have no CF (a non-dimensional conversion factor between fuel oil consumption and CO 2
emission) assigned, the fuel oil supplier should provide a C F for the respective product supported by
documentary evidence.
The annual total amount of CO 2 is calculated by multiplying annual fuel oil consumption and C F for the type of
fuel.

consumers

The applied method used for measuring annual fuel oil consumption in metric tonnes is described in the
following sections. As Applicable.

4.2 Method using bunker delivery notes (BDNs)

[This section should be used if it is the applied method used by the ship.]
This method determines the annual total amount of fuel oil used based on BDNs, which are a requirement for
fuel oil delivered to and used on board a ship for combustion purposes in accordance with Regulation 18 of
MARPOL Annex VI.
BDNs are required to be retained on board for three years after the fuel oil has been delivered.
The following table sets out how the ship will implement the summation of BDN information and conduct tank
readings.

4.3Method using flow meters

[This section should be used if it is the applied method used by the ship.]
This method determines the annual total amount of fuel oil consumption by measuring fuel oil flows on board
using flow meters. In case of the breakdown of flow meters, manual tank readings or alternative methods will
be conducted instead.
The following table sets out information about the ship’s flow meters and how the data will be collected and
summarised, as well as how the necessary tank readings will be conducted.

4.4 Method using bunker fuel oil-tank monitoring on board

[This section should be used if it is the applied method used by the ship.]
This method determines the annual total amount of fuel oil consumption by measuring daily fuel oil
consumption by taking tank readings and aggregating them. The tank readings will normally be conducted
daily when the ship is at sea, and each time the ship is bunkering or de-bunkering.
The following table sets out how the ship will implement the summation of daily fuel oil consumption data and
conduct tank readings.

5. Methodology for collecting data on distance travelled
Appendix IX of MARPOL Annex VI specifies that data on the distance travelled shall be submitted to the
Administration.

The following table sets out how the ship will measure distance travelled.

Procedures Responsible Equipment

6. Methodology for collecting data on hours underway

Appendix IX of MARPOL Annex VI specifies that hours underway should be submitted to the Administration.
[Hours underway should be an aggregated duration while the ship is underway under its own propulsion.]

7. Data quality
Data quality control measures should be incorporated into the existing shipboard safety management
system.
The following table sets out the data quality control measures of the ship.

8. Processes that will be used to report the data

Regulation 22A.3 of MARPOL Annex VI states that the data specified in Appendix IX of the Annex are to be
communicated electronically using a standardised form developed by the IMO.
The collected data shall be reported to the Administration or any organisation duly authorised by it in the
standardised format shown in Appendix B.
The Administration should indicate what additional documentation the ship should submit along with the
annual data report shown in Appendix B.
Additional documentation required is as follows:

1) A copy of the ship’s data collection plan.

2) Summaries of BDNs, in sufficient detail to show that all fuel oil consumed by the ship is accounted for (see
sample form of BDN summary set out in Appendix C).

3) Summaries of disaggregated data of fuel oil consumption, distance travelled and hours underway, in a
format specified by the Administration (see sample form of data summary set out in Appendix C).

4) Information to demonstrate that the ship followed the data collection plan set out in its SEEMP Part II,
including information on data gaps and how they were filled, as well as how the event that caused each
data gap was resolved.

5) Copies of documents containing information on the amount of fuel oil consumption, distance travelled and
hours underway for the ship’s voyages during the reporting period (e.g. the ship’s official logbook, oil
record book, BDNs, and arrival/noon/departure reports).
