What types of data will be collected?
The primary objective is to collect data on CO2 emissions, which will help raise the sector's
awareness of its contribution to climate change. Accordingly, the amount and type of fuel
consumed by ships on routes covered by the Regulation are the core data to be collected.
Ship owners will also have to provide information on distance travelled, cargo carried and
time spent at sea, in particular to obtain a general overview of ships' average energy
efficiency. This will facilitate the alignment of the EU regulation with the on-going IMO
discussions, which focus on enhancing the energy efficiency of the sector.
The proposed MRV system will not cover other GHGs besides CO2 nor air pollutants since
measuring equipment for these is currently not sufficiently reliable. However the scope
could be expanded at a later stage, in order to clarify and simplify monitoring and
reporting requirements.
