Monitoring Plans for Attica’s Group entire fleet fully assessed by Verifavia Shipping.
 
Attica Group, a leading company in the provision of ferry services for passengers, vehicles and cargo in Europe, is pleased to announce the certification of its Monitoring Plans for the carbon dioxide emissions (“Monitoring Plans”) for the Group’s vessels. The certification recognizes Attica Group’s regular monitoring, recording and disclosure of carbon dioxide emissions (“CO2”), in accordance with the EU Regulation[1] EU MRV 757/2015.
 
According to the Regulation, by 31st August 2017, every shipping company must submit to EU-accredited verifiers a draft Monitoring Plan for each of their vessels above 5,000GT. Once submitted, the Monitoring Plan must be assessed by an independent verifier by December 31st, 2017. The MP must clearly describe the procedures, systems and responsibilities established to monitor and report CO2 emissions.
 
Attica Group with respect to its values and always committed to its obligation to reduce its carbon footprint, protect the environment, and ensure sustainable business and development, is once more leading the way: not only have the MPs for every vessel of its fleet been completed and submitted for approval, much earlier than required by the EU Regulation, they have also been fully assessed by Verifavia Shipping, the world’s leading emissions verification company for the transport sector (aviation and shipping). Verifavia is also the first globally accredited verifier to receive dual accreditation under ISO 14065 standard and regulation 757/2015.
 
Mr. Spyridon Paschalis, CEO of Attica Group, says: “In Attica Group we keep being pioneers concerning environmental protection issues as well. We are the first passenger shipping to be certified for our EU MRV Monitoring Plans by Verifavia Shipping, and even earlier than required. We commit ourselves to work hard on the improvement of our procedures and efforts to reduce our carbon footprint and will take any initiative to that end without further delay”.
 
Nikolas Theodorou, CEO of Verifavia Shipping (Hellas), says: “We have been privileged to work with Attica Group on the assessment of their monitoring plans regarding compliance with the EU MRV regulation. Attica Group already employed exemplary processes, including advanced and detailed fleet management and monitoring practices, and it has been our pleasure to work with the company to ensure a smooth and efficient EU MRV assessment audit”
