a) As part of company policy to conserve energy where possible, shipboard staff shall practically demonstrate their actions with data and records, which shall be monitored in the office.

b) Conservation of energy can be carried out by the following ways, but not limited to:

• (i) By good planning and coordinating operations involving high energy consumption between deck & engine departments, such as:                     O Mooring operation
                      O Opening / closing of ramps/ holds

• (v) By recording, monitoring, and comparing the fuel consumptions of machineries against running hours where possible.

c) Safety of operations and the ship shall never be compromised while complying with the above instructions & guidance.

Refer to SEEMP manual for ship-specific energy conservation procedures which contain all the requirements of the revised MARPOL Annex VI as per IMO Res. MEPC 203(62), 212(63), and 214(63), and was enforced starting 1st January 2013. These procedures were provided to all fleet vessels.
