### Introduction
The Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP) is a mandatory operational measure under MARPOL Annex VI, Chapter 4, designed to establish a mechanism for a company and/or a ship to improve the energy efficiency of its operations. The SEEMP is a dynamic management tool that follows a cyclical process of four steps: Planning, Implementation, Monitoring, and Self-evaluation & Improvement. The critical role of each step is to create a continuous cycle that ensures long-term enhancement of energy efficiency, reduction in fuel consumption, and consequently, a decrease in greenhouse gas (GHG) and other harmful emissions.
