MRV Regulation
The verification process
Improving performance,

Includes:
Who and what does the MRV Regulation apply to?
All commercial voyages
to, from and in-between
EU or EEA
(Iceland/Norway) ports

Gap Analyses
A beneficial gap analysis
against either your
monitoring plans, or your
emissions report data, or
both, can be tailored to
your specific needs.
Monitoring plans
assessed
Monitoring plan
assessments are required by
the regulation when first
created or when any
changes are required. We
will work with you to assess
your monitoring plans to
ensure they comply.

Emissions Report
Verification 1st Document of
Compliance
JUN
2019
We can perform the
required annual emissions
verification and issue the
Document of Compliance.
We will work with you to
verify your data and
information so that a
Document of Compliance
can be issued.
What will it mean to me?
To be prepared and reviewed by 2017 for each vessel
Will cover the method to monitor CO2/ Fuel, distance and cargo
The plan will be assessed for conformity by an accredited verifier
Monitoring Plan
Owner/operators need to engage with a 3rd Party accredited Verifier to review and approve their reports
Verification
On an annual basis, reports are submitted to the EU
Reporting
These are discussed in more detail in the following slides
What are we monitoring for each voyage?
Co2 emitted
• As function of fuel consumption
• Amount and emission factor for each fuel type
• Includes M/E, A/E, G/Ts, IGGs, Boilers
Transport work
• Distance travelled (actual or shortest)
• Cargo carried (MT, m3, TEU, cargo units, lane numbers or passengers)
• Transport work = distance x cargo
Date, time and ports
• Departure and arrival ports
• Date and hour of departure / arrival (GMT)
• Time spent at sea (excludes anchoring)
Exceptions
- Ships only calling EU ports all year only need to monitor annually
- Ships performing > 300 voyages per calendar year only need to monitor annually
Four permitted methods to measure fuel consumption
These methods may vary in complexity and cost. They CAN be used in combination.
Bunker delivery note and periodic
stocktake of fuel tanks*
Bunker fuel tank measurements on
board
Fuel flow meters for applicable
combustion processes
Direct emissions monitoring
*cannot be used where cargo is burnt as fuel (e.g. LNG carriers)
What does the Monitoring Plan look like?
Basic Data Activity Data Data gaps Management
• Company details
• Emission sources
& fuel types,
• Emission factors,
• Procedure for
completeness
• Methods & procedures
for;
• Fuel consumption
monitoring
• Density
• Uncertainty
• Quality assurance of
measuring equipment
• Completeness of
voyages
• Distance procedure
• Cargo carried
• Check of MP
• Control activities
e.g. IT system
• Internal review of
data
• Corrective actions
• Outsourced
activities and
documentation
• For fuel, distance cargo
and time at sea
What do I need to monitor and report annually?
Aggregated annual
data
• Amount and emission
factor per fuel type in total
• CO2 emissions (from EC
ports, to EC ports,
between EC ports, at
berth and total
• Fuel consumptions
• Distance travelled
• Time at sea & at berth
• Transport work
• AVERAGE ENERGY

• Accreditation number
• Method used
• Emission sources
• Uncertainty
• Fuel consumption & CO2 – total, between ports, departed from and to
• Distance travelled / time at sea / transport work
• Average energy efficiency
Who to report to?
Verifier assesses work done by
companies, outside the system. In the
system they notify issuance of the
document of compliance once the
emissions report has been
successfully verified.
Commission will have access to the
system to receive information on
reporting and notification obligations
of the companies and verifiers
respectively.
Member States (and Flag
States)
will receive / have access to the
emissions report and
documents of compliance of
ships flying their flag
Company – emissions report
for each of their ships
Verification – how will it work?
Verifiers will:
• Be accredited by a recognised body
• Assess monitoring plans for completeness, accuracy, relevance and
conformity
• Assess emissions reports and verify they are accurate and correct to a
reasonable level of assurance
• Assessment may be done by inquiry, document review, observation, site
visit or remotely
• Confirm whether data is within the 5% materiality level
• Detail misstatements and non-conformities and give an opportunity to
correct
• Issue a verification report and document of compliance (DoC)
• Inform the commission and Flag State of DoC issue.
Verification – how will it work?
Companies will:
• Provide the verifier at each verification stage with relevant monitoring
plan and emissions report templates and documentation, for example
procedures and processes, voyage lists and bunkering documents
• Demonstrate compliance with the monitoring plan
• Demonstrate how they have obtained, calculated and arrived at, final
reporting information and data
• Correct misstatements and non-conformities identified by the verifier
