EU MRV and ETS Monitoring Plan Assessment

Every ship exceeding 5,000 GT that expects to visit an EU port from 2018 must prepare and submit a Monitoring Plan to an accredited verifier by 31 August 2017 for assessment as per requirements of the EU MRV Regulation.

 

Overview


By 31 August 2017, ship operators must submit to an independent accredited verifier a Monitoring Plan (MP) describing the methods chosen to monitor and report emissions and other relevant information for each of their ships of above 5,000 GT that expect to visit EU ports in 2018.

The MP consists of a complete and transparent documentation of the monitoring methodology of a specific ship and must contain at least the elements listed in  Art. 6  of the EU MRV Regulation and the Implementing Act on Emissions Templates.  Ship operators must use a standardised MP based on templates established by the European Commission.

The first task of the verifier is to assess the conformity of the MP with the requirements set out in  Art. 6 and Art. 7 of the Regulation and in the Implementing Act on Emissions Templates, which includes the template for the Monitoring Plan.


 

The Monitoring Plan assessment audit


The aim of assessment is to check consistency between the EU MRV Regulation, the Monitoring Plan and the existing company procedures.



The assessment audit is conducted with a site visit at the company's head office and / or remotely through email communication and conference calls.
