What journeys will be covered by the monitoring and reporting obligations?
The application of the MRV rules will follow the principles of international maritime law in
that it will be applied in a non-discriminatory manner to all ships regardless of their flags.
From 1 January 2018, CO2 emissions and fuel efficiency will need to be monitored for:
• all intra-EU Union voyages (ie those between ports under the jurisdiction of an EU Member State)
• all incoming voyages from the last non-EU port to the first EU port of call;
• all outgoing voyages from an EU port to the next non-EU port of call.
After being monitored, this data will need to be independently verified and then reported
to the Commission and the ship's flag state.
Emissions from vessels within ports will also need to be monitored, reported and verified.
This is intended to encourage the use of available shore-based emission-reduction
technologies.
