Statutory Alert: EU Monitoring, Reporting and

Verification regulation industry consultation on
delegated and implementing acts
Applicability: Owners and operators of ships greater than 5,000 gt making
commercial voyages into, out of or between EU ports

The European Commission has launched a public consultation on the supporting

acts that will bring the EU Regulation on Monitoring, Reporting and Verification of
CO2 Emissions from Ships (EU MRV)* into force. This consultation is an opportunity
for industry to have a direct input to these acts, and to help ensure the final acts are
based on effective and workable procedures.
Lloyds Register has been taking a leading role in the work of the industry forum that
has supported the European Commission in developing the acts, and encourages all
shipowners and operators who will be affected to review the consultation documents
and register their views.
About the supporting acts
There are two types of act delegated and implementing. These will address the
requirements for shipowners/operators and verifiers, as follows.
The delegated acts will cover:
verification activities and accreditation of verifiers
amendments to Annex I of the regulation, including methods for monitoring
CO2 emissions and the rules for monitoring other relevant information
The implementing acts will cover:
the templates for the Monitoring Plan, Annual Emission Report and Document
of Compliance
determination of cargo carried for ships other than passenger, ro-ro and
container ships.
