SEEMP stands for?

• A. Shipboard Emission and Efficiency Monitoring Protocol
• B. Solar Energy Efficiency Monitoring Plan
• C. Shipboard Energy Efficiency Management Plan
• D. Safety and Environmental Energy Management Plan

Answer: (C)

SEEMP is the Shipboard Energy Efficiency Management Plan, the onboard framework that guides how a vessel should operate to improve energy efficiency and reduce fuel consumption. It provides practical measures for voyage planning, engine management, speed optimization, and weather routing, helping the crew implement energy-saving actions during operations. This plan sits with design-based efficiency measures (like EEDI) but focuses on how the ship is run rather than how it’s built. The other options describe different concepts (a monitoring protocol, solar-focused monitoring, or a safety/environmental plan) that don’t match the official terminology.
