Verifavia emissions verification company announced that it has expanded into Greece and Cyprus with the launch of Verifavia Shipping (Hellas) Ltd. The Athens-based team, led by managing director, Nikolas Theodorou, will support the region’s shipping community in effectively navigating the requirements of the European Union’s (EU) Monitoring Reporting and Verification (MRV) Regulation.
Verifavia has a long experience of working in the aviation and other transport sectors to provide emissions verification information and services. The company works as a trusted partner with customers to support them in achieving compliance with an independent service grounded in accuracy, integrity and expertise.
Verifavia is already working with several shipping companies to assess their organisations for MRV readiness. Greece-based NEDA Maritime Agency Co. Ltd. was recently considered MRV-ready by Verifavia and is now on course to comply with the requirements of the EU MRV Regulation. Verifavia is also working with ICT solutions providers that are bringing new and innovative MRV solutions to the market for auditing purposes. It is essential that these solutions are fully certified to support monitoring and reporting that satisfies compliance requirements.
Julien Dufour, CEO, Verifavia, commented:
“MRV Regulation and the collection of CO2 data for over 10,000 ships represents a significant challenge for the shipping industry. We are committed to partnering with shipping companies to share our in-depth knowledge of MRV, and our presence in Piraeus will ensure that we are best placed to serve this thriving maritime community.”
Nikolas Theodorou, Managing Director, Verifavia Shipping (Hellas) Ltd commented:
“I’m greatly excited about this new role. Compliance with MRV regulation will prove a pressing issue for many shipowners and I am certain that we will assist them and facilitate this process in the most successful and professional manner. Verifavia is already a trusted independent partner, respected for its integrity, accuracy and expertise. Our ongoing aim is to maintain the highest levels of service across the board within the shipping industry.”
