The EU MRV Regulation - General
►MRV Regulation is:the EU Regulation 2015/757 on the monitoring, reporting and verification of carbon dioxide emissions from maritime transport
►Adoption:It was adopted by the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union on 29 April 2015.
►Entry into force: on 1 July 2015.
4Annual Meeting of the Nordic, Baltic and Russian Maritime Authorities
Objective of the MRV Regulation
► The EU's strategy is to progressively integrate maritime emissions into the EU's policy for reducing its domestic greenhouse gas emissions.
►MRV Regulation focuses on CO2 as it is the predominant greenhouse gas emission from ships.
► The strategy consists of three consecutive steps:• Monitoring, reporting and verification of CO2
emissions from large ships using EU ports
• Greenhouse gas reduction targets for the maritime transport sector
• Further measures, including market-based measures (MBMs), in the medium to long term.
5Annual Meeting of the Nordic, Baltic and Russian Maritime Authorities
Objective of the MRV Regulation (cont.)
► The EU MRV Regulation creates a framework for collecting and publishing verified annual data on CO2 emissions and energy-efficiency from all large ships that use EU ports, irrespective of where the ships are registered.
► From January 2018 onwards, CO2 emissions and energy efficiency will have to be: monitored and reported by companies,
verified par an independent verifier.
►A valid document of compliance issued by the verifier will have to be carried on board of ships subjected to MRV.
6Annual Meeting of the Nordic, Baltic and Russian Maritime Authorities
Scope of the MRV Regulation
► The MRV Regulation applies to ships above 5 000 gross tonnage (with some exceptions). It should be noted that ships below 5000 GT represent about 45% of the fleet, but only 10% of the total EU related CO2 emissions.
►CO2 emissions to be considered are those released by ships: At sea during voyages from and to a port under the jurisdiction of a Member State and
At birth within ports of call under the jurisdiction of a Member State.
7Annual Meeting of the Nordic, Baltic and Russian Maritime Authorities
Method for monitoring CO2 emissions
► For each of their ships, companies will have to:
determine the CO2 emissions in accordance with one of the permitted methods, and
monitor other relevant information.
►Monitoring is to be carried out on a “per voyage” basis and on an annual basis.
8Annual Meeting of the Nordic, Baltic and Russian Maritime Authorities
Calculation of CO2 emissions
►CO2 emissions = Fuel consumption x emission factor
Where:
Fuel consumption includes fuel consumed by main engines, auxiliary engines, gas turbines, boilers and inert gas generators. Fuel consumption within port at berth is to be calculated separately.
Emission factor is the factor for conversion of the fuel consumption into CO2 emissions. Default values are used in principle unless the company uses data on fuel quality from the Bunker Delivery Note.
9Annual Meeting of the Nordic, Baltic and Russian Maritime Authorities
Determination of the fuel consumptions
► For each ship and each voyage, the actual fuel consumption has to be calculated based on one of the following method:
(a) Bunker Fuel Delivery Note (BDN) and periodic stocktakes of fuel tanks;
(b) Bunker fuel tank monitoring on board;
(c) Flow meters for applicable combustion processes;
(d) Direct CO2 emissions measurements. If this method is used, the fuel consumptions have to be calculated from the CO2 emissions and the relevant emission factors.
► Any combination of these methods may also be used if this enhances the overall accuracy of the measurement. Source: Krill
10Annual Meeting of the Nordic, Baltic and Russian Maritime Authorities
Monitoring of other relevant information
►Monitoring is to be performed:
► on a “per voyage” basis is required except for ships performing > 300 voyages / year
► on an annual basis.
11Annual Meeting of the Nordic, Baltic and Russian Maritime Authorities
Data for the monitoring on a “per voyage” basis
► The following data are to be collected, determined or calculated:
Port of departure, port of arrival, date and hour of departure and arrival, time spent
Distance travelled
Amount of cargo carried:
• number of passengers,
• amount of cargo (metric tons or cubic meters)
Transport work (= distance travelled x amount of cargo carried)
12Annual Meeting of the Nordic, Baltic and Russian Maritime Authorities
Data for the monitoring on an annual basis
►Values are determined by aggregation of the relevant per voyage data. The following parameters are to be monitored:
amount and emission factor for each type of fuel consumed in total
total aggregated CO2 emitted
aggregated CO2 emissions from all voyages:
• between ports under a Member State's jurisdiction
• which departed from ports under a Member State's jurisdiction
• to ports under a Member State's jurisdiction
CO2 emissions which occurred within ports under a Member State's jurisdiction at berth
total distance travelled
total time spent at sea
total transport work
average energy efficiency
13Annual Meeting of the Nordic, Baltic and Russian Maritime Authorities
Data for the monitoring on an annual basis (cont.)
► The average energy efficiency is to be monitored by using at least four indicators:
fuel consumption per distance = total annual fuel consumption/total distance travelled
fuel consumption per transport work = total annual fuel consumption/total transport work
CO2 emissions per distance = total annual CO2 emissions/total distance travelled
CO2 emissions per transport work = total annual CO2 emissions/total transport work.
14Annual Meeting of the Nordic, Baltic and Russian Maritime Authorities
Monitoring plan
►By 31 August 2017, companies will have to submit to the verifiers a monitoring plan for each of their ships indicating the method chosen to monitor and report CO2 emissions and other relevant information including in particular:
the procedures used for monitoring the fuel consumption of the ship
the emission factors used for each fuel
the procedures used for determining activity data per voyage, in particular the procedures, data sources and formulae used for determining and recording:
• the distance,
• the cargo carried and the number of passengers, as applicable,
• the time spent at sea between the port of departure and the port of arrival.
the method to be used for closing data gaps in case of missing data.
►Companies will have to use standardised monitoring plans based on templates to be developed by the European Commission.
15Annual Meeting of the Nordic, Baltic and Russian Maritime Authorities
Emissions report
► From 2019, by 30 April of each year, companies will have to submit to the Commission and to the flag States authorities, a verified emissions report concerning the CO2 emissions and other relevant information.
► The emissions report should contain the following information:
company and ship data,
identity of the verifier that assessed the emissions report,
information on the monitoring method used and the related level of uncertainty,
results from annual monitoring of the parameters.
