NEW CHAPTER -4 – “REGULATIONS ON ENERGY EFFICIENCY FOR SHIPS” INTRO - Shipping contributes 3% of the total emission s in the world in terms of co2 emitted for /ton of cargo - Studies say that it will increase rapidly due to the demand in the future to 75%. - Hence international bodies pressurised IMO to take some regulatory actions in this regard - Thus came into being , Mandatory measures to reduce emission of Green House gas (CO2) from ships which was implemented via “CHAP 4 – REGULATIONS ON ENERGY EFFICIENCY FOR SHIPS “ ENTRY : 1ST JAN 2013 This introduces 2 mandatory measures 1. EEDI 2. SEEMP EEDI- ENERGY EFFICIENCY DESIGN INDEX For all NEW ships > 400 GT - This lays restrictions on emission of Co2 /ton/nm - Formula = (power x sfoc x carbon conversion)/ (capacity x speed) - The value obtained from this is “ ACTUAL EEDI” - ACUTAL EEDI
SEEMP – SHIP ENERGY EFFICIENCY MGMT PLAN - All ships > 400 GT should have SEEMP Gives procedures as to - Improve - Plan - Monitor - Assess the energy efficiency SEEMP comprises - Fuel oil efficiency measures - Hull and propeller optimisation - Ship energy optimisation - Machinery energy optimisation - Cargo handling optimisation In short, it tries to INCREASE OVERALL EFFICIENCY DECREASING THE ENERGY CONSUMPTION -

Executed and accounted via SEEMP

ALSO REMEMBER - Any non compliance of verification of SEEMP and EEDI will lead to non issue of IEEC but in no way affect IAPPC
