GOALS
through systematic management of it, and thereby increase the profits of the
Company through a greater commitment with the environment. Its successful
implementation depends on the commitment of all levels and functions within
the organization, but especially of the top management and the ship's
command.
This document specifies the key points of an energy saving plan from which
the Company and its vessels can develop an energy policy and establish
objectives, goals and action plans that take into account legal requirements
and information related to the significant use of energy.
The reasonable and efficient use of natural resources for the activity and
livelihood of people will bring about an improvement in the current quality of
life and a world with a purer and less polluted environment for future
generations.
The foregoing is not only a declaration of good intentions since the practical
application of the SEEMP demonstrates the effective implementation of
these concepts and in turn measures them through simple and measurable
indicators.

Definitions and abbreviations used in this plan are according to the defined in
the Management Manual of our SGS, in the MARPOL Annex VI and in the
International Standards ISO 50001 and ISO 14004.
GENERAL
This document contains the general guidelines to which the SEEMP of each
vessel should be adjusted. The Ship Efficiency Management Plan is a tool that
Page 5
The SEEMP has to increase the energy efficiency of a ship in four phases:
planning, implementation, monitoring and self-evaluation and improvement.
These components play a decisive role in the continuous cycle to improve the
energy management of the ship. With each iteration of the cycle, some
elements of the SEEMP will vary, while others will not.
- Planning: carry out the energy review and establish the baseline, energy
performance indicators, objectives, goals and action plans necessary to
achieve the results that improve energy performance.
- Verify: track and measure the processes and key characteristics of the
operations that determine energy performance in relation to energy
policies and objectives and report on results.

PLANNING
Planning is the most important stage of the SEEMP, since it establishes both the
current status of a vessel's energy consumption and the expected improvement of its
energy efficiency.
Energetic baseline
The measurements to be made will depend on the type of operations of the Ship but
can include the following stages:
This value will be measured in m3/ day or Tons/day and will determine the current fuel
consumption situation.
The following describes a series of measures and best practices to be applied on the
ship and in the company for the efficient use of fuel and the reduction of consumption.
These and other measures must be reviewed in terms of their effectiveness and real
implementation based on the established annual objectives.
The improvement of the energy efficiency of the operation of the ship does not depend
only on the management of the ship. It also depends on numerous interested parties
such as repair yards, the Board of Managers, the company's staff, charterers, cargo
owners, ports, and traffic management services. For example, the concept "just in time"
requires good communications at an early stage between shipowners, ports and traffic
management services. The closer the coordination between the stakeholders, the
greater the improvement can be. In most cases, the company can achieve that
coordination or total management better than the ship. For this reason, the measures
to establish and coordinate in the company with those responsible for the sectors
involved are specified below.

IMPLEMENTATION
Records
In addition, monthly the ship must be report the consumption in the different
circumstances listed in 4.1.1. A model form is included in Annex II.
VERIFICATION
Verification methods
According with management system of National Shipping S.A, the setting of objectives
for the energy efficiency will be established and monitored according to it, on an annual
basis, with a semi-annual monitoring.
The procedures for measuring the established indicators are developed in the annex.
It’s worth mention, that the data processing will be done in the Technical Management
in order not to overload the crews administratively.
The company must carry out internal audits at planned intervals to ensure that the
SEEMP in both the company and the vessels:
Self-evaluation and improvement is the final phase of the management cycle. In this
phase the useful information will be obtained that allows to plan the stage of the next
improvement cycle. For a better organization, the improvement cycles will coincide with
the security management system review cycles.
The self-assessment will be carried out by the Technical Manager with the energy
management team. The Captain and the Chief Engineer shall review the application of
the SEEMP on board and report deficiencies and proposals to improve energy
efficiency on his vessel through the Superintendent.
Page 9
The self-evaluation will analyze the indicators reported by the ship, will determine the
effectiveness of the corrective measures, will propose corrective actions and
improvements, and will established the objectives of the next cycle, which in general
must be superior to the present cycle unless various duly justified circumstances
prevent it. It will also carry out a gross assessment of the fuel savings achieved, in such
a way that this value serves as a reference to the Management to decide investments.
The analysis and conclusions of the self-evaluation and proposed improvements will be
transcribed in a record or note where the corrective actions, improvement actions and
the need to introduce changes in the SEEMP will be recorded. Copy of the same will
be sent to the Captain of the Ship for their application.

OPERATIONAL MEASURMENTS
All the previously defined measures must be adopted in the context of a systematic program
of energy saving.
This means that a program must be defined in time since the energy saving must be
sustainable over time and in accordance with the objectives and goals determined by
management.
In this program, should work first be done on the measures in point 2 concern to the
operational aspects since they are the ones that can most influence fuel consumption. In
second place, in the technical measures that contribute to consumption and are necessary to
apply according to the defined energy saving objectives.
It is important that the application program be agreed between the energy efficiency team
and the Captain given that, as previously stated, the energy efficiency system will not be
effective in achieving the objectives set with isolated and unrelated measures.
In the program, it is very important to seek gradualness in the application in order to be able
to measure the degree of savings that each measure implies or generates, in such a way as
to realize an adequate choice of them.
Many responsibilities fall on the Captain as the ship's manager, but he must internally assign
them according to the charges on board and it is also recommended to designate an energy
efficiency team on the ship to collaborate in the implementation of actions and monitoring
that the plan demands. The Captain must review the energy efficiency system and make the
proposals that, according to the experience in the implementation of the plan, have been
included as positive to improve energy efficiency. This feedback is important and will
contribute to the successive revisions of the SEEMP.

The measurement of fuel consumption should be applied to all machinery and equipment
that has consumption including the main machinery and equipment such as Main Machine,
Electric Power Generators, Boilers, Inert Gas Equipment and Incinerators.
