13 December 2016

Statutory Alert: Publication of EU MRV delegated

and implementing regulations, including templates
for monitoring plans, emission reports and
documents of compliance
Applicability: Owners and operators of ships greater than 5,000 gt making
commercial voyages into, out of or between EU ports

Please note: this Class News is a reissue and replaces the version sent earlier
today. It has been amended to fix two broken links.
The European Commission has published the delegated and implementing acts to
support the entry into force of the EU Regulation on Monitoring, Reporting and
Verification of CO2 Emissions from Ships (EU MRV).* This follows completion of the
consultation announced in Class News 23/2016, and input from the European
Sustainable Shipping Forums MRV sub-groups, in which Lloyds Register has been
an active participant.
The four published regulations provide the information needed by shipowners or
operators and verifiers, as follows:
Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1928 on determination of
cargo carried for categories of ships other than passenger, ro-ro and container
ships pursuant to [EU MRV]
This provides the cargo parameter definitions for different ship types to support
clear implementation.
Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1927 on templates for
monitoring plans, emissions reports and documents of compliance pursuant to
[EU MRV]

The three templates are provided as annexes to the regulation.

Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/2072 on the verification
activities and accreditation of verifiers pursuant to [EU MRV]
Various definitions and procedural details are clarified.
Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/2071 amending [EU MRV] as
regards the methods for monitoring carbon dioxide emissions and the rules for
monitoring other relevant information
Amendments to Annexes I and II of EU MRV are made to reflect necessary
changes to the required monitoring practices and to reflect industry best
practice.
Owners and operators of ships that will be subject to EU MRV are advised to review
these regulations in order to support preparations for when MRV comes into effect.
*Regulation (EU) 2015/757 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2015 on the monitoring,
reporting and verification of carbon dioxide emissions from maritime transport, and amending Directive 2009/16/EC.
