SEEMP Company audits

The Guidelines for the verification and company audits by the Administration of part III of the Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP) have been developed to assist Administrations with carrying out the verifications and company audits required by regulation 26.3.3 of MARPOL Annex VI.  Guidelines were developed in the Resolution MEPC.347(78).

The aim of these Guidelines is to provide guidance to Administrations to effectively and efficiently carry out verifications of, and company audits related to, the Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP) to ensure compliance with regulation 26.3 and with regulation 28 of MARPOL Annex VI; and ensure that the SEEMP includes the relevant elements in accordance with regulation 26.3 of MARPOL Annex VI, as applicable, and that the SEEMP is reliable, while minimizing the costs and associated burdens to the ship and the Administration.

PMDS Technical Department have implemented the guidelines to verify company compliance.  Periodicity of the audit will depend on the obtained ratings corresponding to any calendar year.
