EU MRV application
The overall purpose of EU MRV emissions collection and reporting is to assess the environmental impact of maritime transport and to serve as the basis for carbon tax determination through the EU ETS and Fuel EU
Maritime regulations. The EU MRV Regulation (REG (EU) 2015/757) is applicable for ships above 5000 GT on EU-related voyages.
From 1 January 2025, the amended EU MRV regulations (REG (EU) 2023/957) will also apply to general cargo ships between 400 and 5000 gross tonnage (GT) and offshore ships of 400 GT and above.
Verification Process
The verification process is divided into the following stages:
- Assessment of monitoring plan
- Verification of emission reports and partial emissions reports
- Verification of reports at company level
- Issuance of document of compliance
Monitoring plan (MP)
In accordance with the EU MRV regulation, a vessel’s Monitoring Plan (MP) must be verified by an independent and accredited verifier, such as Libero Hellenic Register. The content of the MP is predefined by the EU MRV regulation and includes a description of the method chosen to monitor and report emissions.
Emissions Report
The Emissions Report contains information about the amount of consumed fuel and the distance travelled, as well as the cargo carried on voyages to, between and from EU ports. Digital documentation for the reporting of bunkering and voyage data are to be submitted to LHR for review. For more information, please contact us. Libero Hellenic register reporting requirements cover the EU MRV and IMO DCS.
Document of Compliance (DoC)
Upon submission of the aggregated Emissions Report, the LHR experts verify it against your voyage log abstract data, bunkering data and external data. The verified Emissions Report for a year must be submitted by the shipping company to the European Commission by 30th of March the following year. By 30 June, the DoC on the Emissions Report must be downloaded by the shipping company from EU’s THETIS-MRV and carried on board.
