What are the key deadlines?
The most imminent deadline associated to the EU MRV is the 31 August 2017: ship operators must by then submit the monitoring plan of every individual ship they operate to an independent accredited verifier who will conduct an assessment of the monitoring to ensure that it complies with the requiremens of the Regulation. This assessment must be successfully completed before the start of the 2018 monitoring period (e.g. by 31 December 2017).
Although the deadline for the submission of the Monitoring Plan is 31 August 2017, ship operators are strongly recommended to begin drafting their Monitoring Plan without delay and have it assessed by an independent verifier so that any issue is identified and corrected in a timely manner.
