4.4.1
Self-evaluation and improvement is
the final phase of the management cycle. This phase should produce
meaningful feedback for the coming first stage, i.e. planning stage
of the next improvement cycle.
4.4.2 The purpose of self-evaluation is to evaluate
the effectiveness of the planned measures and of their implementation,
to deepen the understanding on the overall characteristics of the
ship's operation such as what types of measures can/cannot function
effectively, and how and/or why, to comprehend the trend of the efficiency
improvement of that ship and to develop the improved SEEMP for the
next cycle.
4.4.3 For this process, procedures for self-evaluation
of ship energy management should be developed. Furthermore, self-evaluation
should be implemented periodically by using data collected through
monitoring. In addition, it is recommended to invest time in identifying
the cause-and-effect of the performance during the evaluated period
for improving the next stage of the management plan.
