This is a practical guide to measures that can be implemented on board to improve energy efficiency and emissions performance within a tanker fleet. It provides guidance on how to implement a Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan, as well as providing a template for developing a Company Energy Efficiency Management Plan.
This Guide has been developed based on INTERTANKO’s Best Practice on Tanker Emissions and Energy Efficiency (INTERTANKO Best Practice) and outlines measures that may be implemented on board to improve energy efficiency within a tanker fleet.
It is a practical tool, providing a basis for tanker operators to implement a Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan, as recommended by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) in its circular – MEPC.1/Circ.683. The Guide also provides a template for developing a Company Energy Efficiency Management Plan.
