Contingency is a situation which although not part of normal optimal operations, have been foreseen and there might be plans in place to tackle it.
Emergency is an unforeseen Contingency.
So technically speaking all the plans that are available on board SMS are contingency plans. However if anything untoward happens which has not been planned for then that will be an emergency.
