reporting and verification of CO2 emissions from ships

Maritime transport has an impact on the global climate and on airquality, as a result of the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and otheremissions that it generates.

The European Parliament and the Council of the European Union (EU)have adopted the regulation 2015/757 on the monitoring, reporting andverification (MRV) of CO2 emissions from maritime transport. It enteredinto force on 1 July 2015, with monitoring to begin in 2018.

This guide explains the Maritime EU MRV Regulation, its impact on you,and how Bureau Veritas can support you in implementing it.

WHO MUST COMPLY?

The Maritime EU-MRV regulation applies to allmerchant ships of 5,000 GT or above on voyages from,to and between ports under jurisdiction of EU MemberStates. Ships above 5,000 GT account for around 55%of the number of ships calling into EU ports andrepresent around 90% of the related emissions.Companies operating the vessels will have to monitorthe CO2 emissions released while in port and for anyvoyages to or from a port under the jurisdiction of a EU Member State and to keep records on CO2 emissionson both per-voyage and annual bases.

WHY DID THE EU INTRODUCE THE REGULATION?

International maritime shipping remained the onlymethod of transportation not included in the Union'scommitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In order to reduce CO2 emissions from shipping atEuropean level, the EU has imposed a system formonitoring, reporting and verification (MRV system) ofCO2 emissions based on the fuel consumption of ships.This represents the first step of a staged approach forthe inclusion of maritime transport emissions in theUnion's greenhouse gas reduction commitment.

EU MRV:WHATDOES IT MEAN FOR YOU?


Companies must, for each of their ships,monitor and report the relevantparameters during a reporting period inaccordance with following principles:

Monitoring and reporting must becomplete and cover CO2 emissions fromthe combustion of fuels, while the ships are at sea as well as at berth.

Companies must apply appropriatemeasures to prevent any data gapswithin the reporting period.

Monitoring and reporting must beconsistent and comparable over time.

Companies must obtain, record,compile, analyse and documentmonitoring data, including assumptions,references, emission factors and activitydata, in a transparent manner thatenables the reproduction of thedetermination of CO2 emissions by theverifier.

Companies must ensure that thedetermination of CO2 emissions isneither systematically nor knowinglyinaccurate and must identify and reduceany source of inaccuracies.

Companies must enable reasonableassurance of the integrity of the CO2

emission data to be monitored andreported.

WHAT PRINCIPLES DOES YOUR MRV SYSTEMNEED TO ADHERE TO?

By 31 August 2017, companies mustsubmit to the verifiers a monitoring planfor each of their ships indicating themethod chosen to monitor and report CO2

emissions and other relevant information.

The monitoring plan must consist of acomplete and transparentdocumentation of the monitoring methodfor the ship concerned and must containat least the following elements:

Identification, type of the ship and theCompany details

Description of the CO2 emissionsources on board the ship and the fueltypes used. These include main engines,auxiliary engines, gas turbines, boilersand inert gas generators

Procedures for monitoring the fuelconsumption of the ship by followingmethods:

- use of Bunker Fuel Delivery Notesand periodic sounding of fuel tanks

- bunker fuel tank monitoring; - flow meters for applicable

combustion processes; or - direct emission measurements

Single emission factors used for eachfuel type,

Procedures used for determiningactivity data per voyage, including:

- the distance travelled, - cargo and/or the number of

passengers transported, - time spent at sea and berth - Information about the ice class of

the vessel

Companies must use standardizedmonitoring plans based on templates.Those templates, including the technicalrules for their uniform application, mustbe determined by the EU Commission bymeans of implementing acts.

WHAT SHOULD YOUR MONITORING PLAN INCLUDE?

*Performed annually from 2019


From 2019, Companies must submit tothe Verifier the summary of datacollected on annual base for review andverification.

Beginning of the year: company tosubmit yearly emission reports toVerifiers for assessment.

By 30 April: verified emission report tobe submitted by the company to theCommission and flag authoritiesconcerned.

By 30 June: A document ofcompliance issued by Verifier to be kepton board ships, covering the relevantreporting period.

By 30 June, the Commission will makepublicly available the information on CO2emissions, fuel consumption, technicalefficiency of the ship (EEDI or estimatedindex value EIV, where applicable), timespent at sea, method applied formonitoring, identity of the verifier, etc.

The emissions report should contain theship and the company identifying data,information on the monitoring methodused, the related level of uncertainty andthe results from annual CO2 emissionmonitoring.

The emissions report must be submittedusing automated systems and dataexchange formats, including electronictemplates. The Commission willdetermine, by means of implementingacts, technical rules establishing thedata exchange formats, including theelectronic templates.

HOW DO YOU SUBMIT YOUR REPORT ?
