SEEMP (Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan) is a required planning tool for shipping companies to manage their vessels' energy use and reduce environmental impact. Think of it like an energy-saving strategy plan that every ship must have. It helps track and improve how efficiently a ship uses fuel, similar to how a business might have a plan to reduce its electricity bills. Ships need this plan to comply with international rules, and maritime professionals work on creating, updating, and implementing these plans to make ships more environmentally friendly and cost-effective.
