Maritime Emission Manager Course

Increasing the energy efficiency awareness of the shore-based and ship-board staff by means of training can lead to a change in behaviour that has positive impacts on the reduction of ship-board energy use and fuel consumption. It is often a good policy for officers and in particular senior officers joining company vessels to be briefed in the shore office by the superintendent responsible for implementing the energy efficiency plan. The senior officers should be asked to study the documented energy policy, relevant SEEMP and be familiar with CEnMS, if applicable. This familiarization should be assessed and verified prior to joining the vessels. If this is not practical for officers at operating level, then they should be required to study the policy document on board and confirm that they have read and understood it (MariEMS 2017).
