Online SEEMP creator introduced

With the Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP) becoming mandatory under the latest MARPOL regulations from 1 January 2013 for all ships over 400gt, the product is claimed by Marorka to help make compliance with SEEMP requirements a straightforward task for shipowners and managers. The web-based product guides ship operators through the creation of the SEEMP and is said to reduce the effort required in planning, maintaining and evaluating SEEMPs for an entire fleet.

“We at Marorka are quite excited about SEEMP. We’ve been living and breathing energy management for ships for over a decade now, and it’s our belief that SEEMP will prove to be an effective catalyst for improving energy efficiency. We have created an add-on for Marorka Online, our web-based fleet energy management solution, which allows SEEMP to become an integral part of ship management. Our development team has been focusing on making an easy-to-use tool for shipping companies to maintain their SEEMP’s,” said Kristinn A Aspelund, Marorka sales and marketing director.

Benefits of online management of SEEMPs are said to include:

• Fleet overview for measures and goals with a calendar view for upcoming projects.
• Central repository and simple document management – crew can print the most recent version from the web.
• Continuous evaluation and improvement based on analytic reports and live measurements.
