Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP) PART I
Regulation 26.1 of MARPOL Annex VI requires each ship of 400 gross tonnages and above, subject to Chapter 4 to keep on board a ship specific Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP). The purpose of Part I of SEEMP is to establish a mechanism for a company and/or a ship to improve the energy efficiency and reduce the carbon intensity of a ship's operation. Preferably, this aspect of the ship-specific SEEMP is linked to a broader corporate energy management policy for the company that owns, operates or controls the ship, recognizing that no two shipping companies are the same, and that ships operate under a wide range of different conditions.
ABS releases Requirements for Onboard Carbon Capture
ABS has launched a set of requirements to help guide the industry in the adoption of carbon capture at sea.
What's new with MEPC 79
The seventy-ninth session of the Marine Environment Protection Committee was held from 12 to 16 December 2022. A brief report of adopted outputs has been written for the Marine Topics readers.
Shaft / engine power limitation system to comply With the EEXI requirements and use of a power reserve
The purpose of these article is to provide technical and operational conditions that the SHaPoLi / EPL system should satisfy in complying with the EEXI requirements and in using a power reserve for existing ships.
Leak Detection for Energy Transition (E-RTTM)
Different mixtures and phases in the same pipeline are a typical application for Real-Time Transient Model technology (RTTM) based systems, which try to consider all blends of different products and pipeline properties in its calculations. However, if the fluid cannot be accurately modelled by the system this leads to false results. Unforeseen operating conditions will also lead to false alarms. The Extended Real-Time Transient Model technology (E-RTTM) can compensate for these disadvantages.
Introduction to Pressure Safety Valve
The primary purpose of a pressure safety valve is the protection of life, property and environment during an over-pressure event in a pressurized vessel or equipment. An over-pressure event refers to any condition which would cause pressure in a vessel or system to increase beyond the specified design pressure or maximum allowable working pressure.

Emission regulations and the future of ships
With the entry into force of IMO’s Carbon Intensity Indicator, future of a third of the world’s ships hangs in the air
The wind propulsion technology
A key strategy to lessen the industry's carbon footprint and aid in the fight against climate change is wind propulsion. Numerous technological developments present excellent opportunities. These approaches, including ours, enable the creation of effective and affordable wind propulsion systems that can be applied to a wide range of ships.
Anchor Windlass Design and Testing (IACS 2018 Requirement)
A windlass used for handling anchors, suitable for the size of chain cable and complying with the Classification Society’s criteria is to be fitted to the ship. The design, construction and testing of windlasses are to conform to an acceptable standard or code of practice. To be considered acceptable, the standard or code of practice is to specify criteria for stresses, performance and testing.
