SEEMP III

The Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan III (SEEMP) is the updated IMO mandated energy efficiency reduction plan. It mandates a carbon reduction, measured by the Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII). 11% Reduction of CO2 is required by 2026, 40% by 2030 and 70% by 2050. Learn more about SEEMP III and how it impacts your vessel’s operations here.
