Verifavia launches CO2 emissions verification service as EU rules kick in
VERIFAVIA, an emissions verification company, has launched of its shipping service in time for the July 1 enactment of the European Commission's (EC) Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) rules to collect emissions data.
MRV Regulation 2015/757 is a first step towards cutting carbon dioxide emissions from maritime transport, and requires operators of ships exceeding 5,000 gross tonnes to monitor and report their carbon emissions on all voyages to, from and between European Union ports from 2018.
As part of the new rule, a valid document of compliance issued by an independent verifier must be carried on board vessels which have performed shipping activities falling under the shipping MRV Regulation during the previous year when visiting EU ports, and might be subject to inspection by member states' authorities.
CEO Julien Dufour said in a company statement: "We understand that MRV is new to the shipping industry, and that, like any new regulations, shipowners, operators and managers require support to help them navigate MRV compliance efficiently and effectively.
"We are also aware of our responsibility in playing a key role in enabling vessel owners to operate responsibly and protect their operations, employees and surrounding environment, thereby mitigating risk and demonstrating compliance," Mr Dufour said.
