9 GENERAL

 9.1 Regulation 26.3.1 of MARPOL Annex VI specifies that, for certain categories of ships of 5,000 GT and above, on or before 1 January 2023, the SEEMP shall include:

  • .1 a description of the methodology that will be used to calculate the ship's attained annual operational CII required by regulation 28 of MARPOL Annex VI and the processes that will be used to report this value to the ship's Administration;

  • .2 the required annual operational CIIs, as specified in regulation 28 of MARPOL Annex VI, for the next three years;

  • .3 an implementation plan documenting how the required annual operational CIIs will be achieved during the next three years; and

  • .4 a procedure for self-evaluation and improvement.

9.2 Sections 9 to 15 of these Guidelines provide guidance for ships to which regulation 26.3 of MARPOL Annex VI applies for the following purposes:

  • .1 to assist them in developing part III of the ship's SEEMP, including guidance on developing a ship-specific method to collect necessary data;

  • .2 to describe the methodology that will be used to calculate the ship's attained annual operational CII value and report this to the ship's Administration;

  • .3 to determine the shipʹs required annual operational CII for the next three years;

  • .4 to develop and apply an implementation plan documenting how the required annual operational CIIs will be achieved during the next three years;

  • .5 to define a procedure for self-evaluation and improvement; and

  • .6 to develop corrective actions, as applicable.

9.3 The required annual operational CII is to be calculated in accordance with regulation 28 and taking into account the guidelines developed by the Organization.footnote

9.4 In addition, pursuant to regulation 28 of MARPOL Annex VI, part III of the SEEMP is further to include calculation methodologies and a plan of corrective actions for ships that are rated D for three consecutive years or rated as E.

9.5 The ship's attained annual operational carbon intensity is to be calculated taking into account the guidelines developed by the Organization.footnote

9.6 Ships of 5,000 gross tonnage and above that are subject to regulations 26.3 and 28 of MARPOL Annex VI are strongly encouraged to review part I of their SEEMP to revise it as needed to reflect the actions taken to achieve the ship's CII requirements.

9.7 The goal setting, as referred to in paragraph 4.1.7 in part I, should be consistent with the requirements of regulation 28 of MARPOL Annex VI and should include the ship's required annual operational CII for the next three years following the updating of the SEEMP.

9.8 In addition, while ships subject to regulation 28 of MARPOL Annex VI may relay on the CII requirements when defining goals under part I of the SEEMP, they are encouraged to consider setting additional ship-specific goals that go beyond the applicable CII requirements and strive for energy efficiency improvements and carbon intensity reductions beyond such requirements.

9.9 Ships subject to regulation 28 of MARPOL Annex VI may consider voluntarily using one or more of the trial CIIs (EEPI, cbDIST, clDIST or EEOI), where applicable, for the purpose of providing supporting data for decision-making to support the review clause set out in regulation 28.11 of MARPOL Annex VI. A standardized data reporting format for the parameters to calculate the trial carbon intensity indicators on a voluntary basis is presented in appendix 4. A description of the methodology that should be used to calculate the trial CII should be included in the SEEMP.

9.10 Part III of the ship's SEEMP should be updated in case of voluntary modifications or necessary corrective actions are involved (every three years).
