SEEMP, fuel-data and operational CII implementation
What is being checked
The inspector is checking whether applicable SEEMP Parts I, II and III are current and implemented, whether fuel-consumption and transport-work data are controlled and whether energy-efficiency and CII actions are measured rather than described only on paper.

0/8 completePractice questions
Answer aloud, then open the preparation point.
1What is the vessel's latest attained CII and current rating?
Use the verified statement and SEEMP Part III, then explain the gap to the required CII and the main operational drivers.
2Which SEEMP measure produced a measurable result last year?
Show baseline, action, monitoring method and outcome rather than only naming weather routing or trim optimisation.
3How is daily fuel data reconciled before DCS submission?
Compare flowmeters, bunker and ROB figures, consumption reports and corrections through the Part II method and investigate variance.
4When is a corrective-action plan required?
For an applicable ship rated D for three consecutive years or E for one year, follow MARPOL Annex VI and SEEMP Part III requirements.
5How do commercial instructions interact with SEEMP and CII?
The Master follows lawful commercial orders but records operational constraints, optimises within safety limits and escalates conflicts affecting compliance or safety.
Where an observation may arise
An applicable SEEMP part, confirmation or approval is missing or outdated.
Part I lists measures without ship-specific responsibility, monitoring or evidence.
DCS or CII input data cannot be reconciled with vessel records.
Senior officers do not know the current rating, target or material drivers.
A required corrective-action plan is absent, unapproved or not implemented.
Annual evaluation does not examine effectiveness or adapt the implementation plan.
Efficiency action compromises safe navigation, machinery limits or statutory obligations.
Past observations for practice
The procedure stated monthly reporting of FO consumption, distance travelled, hours underway and other data required by regulation 22A of MARPOL Annex VI and not yearlt report as required.
The company required SEEMP records FRJ 02 to be sent by the vessel to shore every quarter. Last reports sent were more than 6 months ago.
The OP was not able to demonstrate all the reports submitted by the vessel as required by the SEEMP.
Master's practical note
Ask the bridge and engine teams separately what is driving the current CII. If their answers do not connect voyage execution, speed, weather, machinery condition and verified data, the SEEMP is probably being managed ashore rather than onboard.
Equipment boundary and references
Equipment boundary: CII applicability, correction factors and future targets change through IMO amendments and guidelines. Use the current verified SEEMP and Administration or recognised-organisation instructions; safety remains overriding.
