SEEMP Part II and Part III

SEEMP Parts I, II and III have distinct scopes; Part III follows CII categories and a rolling three-year plan, with verification/Confirmation rather than generic class approval.

Operational Explanation

SEEMP Parts I, II and III have distinct scopes; Part III follows CII categories and a rolling three-year plan, with verification/Confirmation rather than generic class approval.

Regulatory Reference

Scope of Application

Part I: chapter 4 ships ≥400 GT. Part II: regulation 27 ships ≥5,000 GT. Part III: ≥5,000 GT only in closed 26.3/28 categories.

Procedure / How to Complete It

1. Determine Part I/II/III applicability separately.
2. For Part II maintain methodology and applicable Appendix IX fields.
3. For Part III maintain required CII and next three-year implementation plan.
4. Update by cycle, modifications, D/E corrective action or Administration direction.
5. Obtain verification from Administration/duly authorised organisation and retain Confirmation.

Practical Example

DCS participation proves Part II, not automatically Part III; a 2023–2025 plan is followed by 2026–2028 without inventing a universal MEPC.385 deadline.

What Typically Goes Wrong

Merging DCS/CII, writing a universal 31 December 2025 amendment, or approved by class as generic status.
