Verifavia Shipping is participating in the week long Posidonia - International Shipping Exhibition from 6-10 June at the Metropolitan Expo, Greece. Verifavia Shipping will conduct free masterclasses on EU MRV Regulation to help clarify this widely misunderstood regulation.
The free masterclasses at Posidonia will be delivered by experts from Verifavia Shipping and are available for all ship owners, operators and ICT solutions providers visiting our stand 1.148. The interactive sessions address four key areas of concern including; what is classed as a voyage, which emission sources are included or excluded, the differences between the four allowable monitoring methods, and the various key deadlines shipowners must adhere to. In addition, those attending will be encouraged to ask questions on all aspects of the regulation.

How to Avoid an MRV Bottleneck - Julien Dufour, CEO, Verifavia Shipping spoke to The Motorship |
In an interview with The Motorship, Julien Dufour, CEO, Verifavia Shipping says Shipowners should act now to ensure compliance with the European Union’s Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) regulation, intended to accurately establish shipping carbon emissions data before any future reduction measures.
From ECA compliance to sulphur abatement, shipowners habitually time their regulatory compliance with last-minute precision. But while the first deadline for the MRV - the submission of a monitoring plan for approval by 31 August 2017 - is more than a year away, the time to act is now, says Dufour.
