At the 38th Propulsion & Emissions Conference held on 11-12 May in Hamburg, Julien Dufour, CEO, Verifavia Shipping and Poul Woodall, Director, Environment & Sustainability, DFDS presented a paper on the challenges and readiness of Shipping MRV for shipowners and operators.
Verifavia Shipping has worked with companies including DFDS and Greece-based NEDA to perform a ‘pre-verification gap analysis’ that identifies compliance and system design issues, enabling correction by ship owners and operators before enforcement begins. With most of the technical details of the regulation already agreed legally or at working group level, there is enough information available for ship operators to start MRV today and avoid the MRV verification bottleneck expected in 2017.
The paper offers a guide to how to prepare for the MRV Regulation. It offers the following aspects:
- An introduction to the regulation
- Regulation scope and milestones
- Consideration of legal issues
- Consideration to other important areas not yet clarified in legislation
- An examination of data security
- An examination of environmental impact
- An examination of Uncertainties / information accuracy
- Cost Considerations
- The Company / verifier relationship
- Important monitoring issues
- Important verifier issues
- Policing issues

Verifavia Shipping will organize ‘free-to-attend’ MRV masterclasses at Posidonia in Athens from 6-10 June 2016 visiting their stand 1148.
