WMU & IMO Train-the-Trainer Initiative on Energy Efficient Operations of Ships
The Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP) will be a mandatory requirement under the MARPOL Annex VI which will shortly enter into force. This Plan details operational measures to improve the energy efficiency of a ship in a cost-effective manner. In this context, the World Maritime University (WMU), with the financial support of the International Maritime Organization (IMO), developed a training course to promote Energy Efficient Operation of Ships and SEEMP.
WMU is now organising two train-the-trainer courses on the subject in February and May 2013 respectively for selected maritime experts/trainers from various regions of the world in order to create a worldwide team of trainers and to enhance awareness on Energy Efficient Operation of Ships. It is expected that developing the training capacity in this area will significantly assist related future capacity-building efforts in developing regions.
In this connection, WMU is calling for applications for the sponsored seats, and this call for application is open to candidates who are full-filling the following criteria:
- has relevant educational background and experience; and
- has obtained support to the application by the candidate’s Government (in the form of a support letter from the relevant Government Department/Ministry that deals with maritime issues).

Dates, number of participants, and language

The course will cover five modules encompassing the issues relevant to the topic on Energy Efficient Operations of Ships and will also include session dealing with the pedagogical aspect of the training delivery.
The registration deadline for both sessions is on 7 January 2013 and candidates should therefore make their registrations as early as possible but not later than 07 January 2013.
