 Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
Burning fuel releases CO2

Red is global average temperature Blue is atmospheric CO2

As atmospheric CO2 increased at the beginning of the 20th Century,
we see an associated increase in global average temperature.
Greenhouse Gases such as Carbon Dioxide (CO2) are trapping
more heat from the sun causing global warming.

Heat is trapped and

starts to heat up Earth’s
surface

Rising global temperature is causing:

– Changes to weather patterns

– Melting of polar ice caps causing sea level rises leading to coastal flooding
– Those most likely to be affected will be people in the world’s poorest countries
– Drought
– Crop failures
 Fuel Price Rises
Residual range in 2050:
$1008 - $1416
Distillate range in 2050:
$1935 - $2719

Fuel prices will continue to rise as resources become

more scarce
Therefore, we must operate in the most efficient way to
conserve fuel.

 SEEMP
The purpose of the Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP) is to
establish a mechanism for a company and/or a ship to improve the energy
efficiency of a ship’s operation.

Fuel-efficient operations can include:

• Weather routing • Ship speed control

• Hull and propeller Fouling control • Engine performance management
• Boiler performance management • Onboard bunker management
• Power generation • Bunker heating
• Draft and trim optimisation • Crew familiarisation and training
• Investment into new technology
 How to use the SEEMP
The SEEMP is a live document, that once onboard the vessel should be discussed
regularly during toolbox meetings and monthly SQSE meetings.

Planning

Act Do

Check

The crew should be made aware and reminded of how their actions can affect the
consumption of fuel onboard.
• For example leaving lights on or forgetting to turn off pumps or fans.
Crew involvement and implementation of the SEEMP and their feedback is the
most important aspect for making the
SEEMP an effective tool.
 Crews role and responsibilities
Direct Influence
• Read and understand the points listed in the SEEMP.
• Operate the vessel efficiently & safely
• Remember to turn off equipment and lights when not in use.
• Discuss vessels performance in the SQSE monthly meeting and areas of
improvement for next month.
Indirect Influence
• Discuss further improvements that can be made to your vessels SEEMP and
inform the office of your ideas.

If approved by the office these will be added to the SEEMP to be implemented

onboard.
 Small changes BIG Differences
Figures used are from the 13,100 TEU ships
• H.F.O Purifier + supply pump: 75.8kg fuel per day
• E/R Ventilation fan: 283.3kg fuel per day
• Accommodation lighting: 105.4kg fuel per day
• Deck Flood lighting: 70.3kg fuel per day
• Cargo hold lighting: 70.3kg fuel per day
• Ballast pump: 893.6kg fuel per day
• Bow thruster hydraulic pump: 22.2kg fuel per day
At sea could be possible to save up to an estimated 500kg of fuel per day just by turning off
equipment that will not effect the safety of the vessel in it current state of operation. That’s
approx. $400 per day or 1.6T of CO2.

* All calculations are based on maximum load multiplied by the motors load factor taken from the
electric load analysis multiplied by the SFOC of the main generator at +/- 5% at MCR at shop trial
conditions for a 24 hour day
 Port operations
Ideas for areas of improvement when the vessel is in port
Figures used are from the 13,100 TEU Maersk ships
• M/E L.O Pump: 1,118.6kg fuel per day
• E/R Ventilation fan: 283.3kg fuel per day x 2 (4 fans installed onboard. Possible
to operate with only 2 fans during port)
• Steering gear: 578kg fuel per day
• H.F.O Purifier + supply pump: 75.8kg fuel per day
• Bow thruster hydraulic pump: 22.2kg fuel per day
• Reduce F.O Tank heating
• Minimise boiler use
• Start Aux. S.W cooling pump instead of Main S.W Cooling pump if installed on
board
• Make sure lighting is not left on in crew and officer recreational areas.
• Heat the main engine using the auxiliary generators if ship is fitted with a central
cooling water systems.
In port could be possible to save an estimated 2,400kg of fuel per day just by
turning off non essential equipment. That’s around $1,500 per day
 Accommodation
Figures used are from the 13,100 TEU Maersk ships
savings
• Galley Ovens: If turned off for 10hrs during the evenings when the galley is out
of use could save 62.2kg of fuel per day which is a yearly saving of 22,703kg of
fuel
• Laundry Equipment: If used daily by 25% of the crew for light loads would use
50kg of fuel based on a 1hr washing cycle. Wait till you have a full load or share
with another crew member. This could reduce fuel consumption to 25kg per day
which is a yearly saving of 9,125kg of fuel
• Cabin and crew spaces lighting: Reducing the accommodation lighting
consumption by 10% by turning of the lights in your cabin when they are empty
and in areas that are not being used, it’s possible to reduce fuel consumption by
8.6kg per day which would be a yearly saving of 3,139kg of fuel
• Air Conditioning plant: uses 246.4kg of fuel in a day if the load on the plant is
reduced by 10% by correct adjustments this could achieve a yearly saving of
8,993.6kg of fuel
With this taken into account (for this vessel) it would be an estimated yearly
saving of 44,000 kg (137 T CO2) which would be around $26,400.

 EEOI
(Energy Efficiency Operational Index)

Zodiac will start to monitor the efficiency of the ships using EEOI measured in
grams of CO2 emitted per tonne of cargo moved. This will be done using the new
VT04 Ship Efficiency jZORS form – STILL IN DEVELOPMENT.
Zodiac will report performance figures based on the amount of CO2 emitted for moving
cargo rather than the total fuel consumed.
By using EEOI calculations we can compare our performance internally to see over and
under performing ships and also with other companies operating similar ships.
For this reason it is important that daily information entered into the form is accurate and
truthful as the data will be used in our yearly Environmental Report.
 EEOI
The graphs show why reporting on total fuel bunkered and CO2 emitted is not a
good indicator for the companies environmental performance.
As the fleet grows in numbers (and tonnage) we bunker more fuel and emit more CO2.
EEOI gives the actual performance factoring in the cargo carrying capacity.

Graphs are taken from the Zodiac Maritime environmental and safety report 2011
 Summary
• The SEEMP will only make a difference if the crew engage with trying to improve the
efficiency of the vessel.
• The Environmental Officer will have responsibility for understanding the document
and training/motivating fellow crew.
• Reduce use of any equipment that does not need to be running.
• Remember to turn off all lights and equipment when not in use.
• When software becomes available use the EEOI as a tool to help monitor the efficiency
of the vessel.
• With regards to the environment and the constant rising prices of fuel it is imperative
that we do all we can as a company to make the biggest difference we possibly can.
• Think of different ways that could make a difference, even the small thing add up to
make BIG differences.
• Share ideas and send comments and feedback to London HQ.
