3 Polish Register of Shipping activities in MRV area Polish Register of Shipping PRS, as an expertise institution acting on the international market, helps its customers to ensure the safety of people, floating objects, loads and, as in the case of MRV, the environment. PRS complying with the European Commission requirements, when entrusted the role of MRV verifier, shall participate in the following processes: verification of MRV Monitoring Plans, verification of Emission Reports, issue of required Documents of Compliance. The PRS Machinery and Equipment Department offers shipowners technical advisory services to adapt ships to comply with the requirement given in the Regulations, including approval of ship technical documentation and certification of supplementary systems and devices to metering fuel, stipulated by the methodology specified in the EU Regulation c) flow meters for applicable combustion processes, or CO 2 emission metering system given in methodology - d) direct CO 2 emissions measurement

4 REGULATION (EU) ON MRV On 1st July 2015, entered into force the European Parliament and the Council Regulation (EU) 2015/757 on monitoring, reporting and verification of carbon dioxide emission from maritime transport, and amending Directive 2009/16/EC and Regulation (EU) 2013/525

5 THE KEY GOAL The key goal of the regulation is to establish a European system of monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) of CO 2 emission from ships. The first stage of proceedings aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emission from maritime transport.

6 SCOPE OF APPLICATION The regulation requires ship owners and operators to annually Monitor, Report and Verify CO 2 emissions The MRV Regulation shall apply to vessels with a gross tonnage 5000 and above The regulation applies to CO 2 emission from ships during their voyages from the last port of call to a port of call under the jurisdiction of the EU Member State, along with cruises from the port of call under the jurisdiction of the EU Member State to the next port of call, as well as for ships berthing or moving within the port under the jurisdiction of the EU Member State The regulation applies to commercial voyages only, which means any movement of a ship that calls at an EU port to offload/load cargo, or ballast voyage, or embark/disembark passengers for commercial purposes Voyages calling at an EU port for bunkering, relieving crew, supply stops, dry-docking, maintenance, safe harbour, etc., are excluded from monitoring and reporting requirements.

7 SCOPE OF APPLICATION The Regulation requirements do not cover: navy ships naval auxiliaries, fish-catching or fish-processing ships, wooden ships of a primitive build, ships not propelled by mechanical means, or government ships used for non-commercial purposes.

8 SCOPE OF APPLICATION Offshore vessels fall under the category of other ship types and in particular cover service ships, off-shore supply vessels, dredgers and drilling ships. It is recommended that MRV rules would not need to be developed for those ships under consideration to the extent that their movements and activities fall outside the scope of the EU MRV regulation. These ship types, although engaged in the transport of passengers and cargo, rarely follow the rules of traditional maritime transport.

9 CALCULATION OF CO 2 EMISSIONS (EU REG. ARTICLE 9) For the purposes of calculating CO 2 emissions companies shall apply the following formula: Fuel consumption emission factor Fuel consumption shall include fuel consumed by main engines, auxiliary engines, gas turbines, boilers and inert gas generators. Fuel consumption within ports at berth shall be calculated separately. In principle, default values for emission factors of fuels shall be used unless the company decides to use data on fuel quality set out in the Bunker Fuel Delivery Notes (BDN) and used for demonstrating compliance with applicable regulations of sulphur emissions. Those default values for emission factors shall be based on the latest available values of the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change (IPCC). Those values can be derived from Annex VI to Commission Regulation (EU) No 601/2012 (1). Appropriate emission factors shall be applied in respect of biofuels and alternative non-fossil fuels. Regulation (EU) 2015_757.pdf

10 CALCULATION OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY OPERATIONAL INDICATOR (EEOI) BASED ON OPERATIONAL DATA For the purposes of calculating CO 2 emissions IMO agreed to circulate on 17 August 2009 MEPC.1/Circ.684 GUIDELINES FOR VOLUNTARY USE OF THE SHIP ENERGY EFFICIENCY OPERATIONAL INDICATOR (EEOI) MEPC.1_Circ.684_Guidelines for Voluntary use of EEOI.pdf

11 EU MRV FUEL CONSUMPTION METHODS CO 2 Emission Monitoring Plan for every ship will be based on one from four monitoring methodologies: a) bunker fuel delivery notes, b) bunker fuel tank monitoring on board, c) flow meters for applicable combustion processes, or d) direct CO 2 emissions measurement, are selected for monitoring and reporting CO 2 emission and providing other essential information relating to reduction of ship emissions.

12 MRV SCHEDULE Until 31 st August 2017, vessel owner is required to submit a CO 2 EMISSION MONITORING PLAN for vessel to the Verifier, indicating one of the four methods of monitoring. The first reporting period is from 1 January 2018 until 31 December Subsequently, from 2019 onwards, companies will have to submit an emissions report concerning the CO 2 emissions, average efficiency and other relevant information for the entire reporting period for each ship under their responsibility to the EC and to the authorities of the flag states concerned by 30 April of each year. The data shall be submitted to a central database and to the flag state authority of the ship concerned. The database is hosted by European Maritime Safety Agency and is named THETIS-MRV. By 30 June 2019, the EU will make publicly available the data of each vessel falling under the EU MRV regulation.

14 CO 2 EMISSION MONITORING PLAN VERIFICATION In accordance with the EU MRV regulation, a vessel monitoring plan must be verified by an independent and accredited verifier. Shipping companies are requested to submit the monitoring plan to the corresponding verifier for each of their ships, including the method for the determination of fuel oil consumption chosen for monitoring, and report CO 2 emissions and other relevant information by 31 August 2017 at the latest. Additionally, the content of the monitoring plan shall consist of: a complete and transparent documentation of the monitoring methods, a description of the combustion machinery on board (main engine, auxiliaries, boilers, etc.) and several further descriptions, associated responsibilities and procedures to monitor things such as completeness of voyages or metering equipment, data, cargo carried and even how to determine surrogate data for closing data gaps.

15 From 1 January 2018, companies shall monitor emissions for each ship on a per voyage basis and aggregate data in an annual report. The monitoring on a per voyage basis shall cover the following parameters: (a)port of departure and port of arrival, including the date and hour of departure and arrival (b)amount and emission factor for each type of fuel consumed in total (c) CO 2 emitted (d) Distance travelled (e) Time spent at sea (f) Cargo carried CO 2 EMISSION MONITORING (g)transport work, which is defined as QUOTIENT = [distance travelled x cargo carried]

16 EXEMPTIONS FROM PER VOYAGE MONITORING Companies may also monitor information relating to the ship ice class and to navigation through ice, where applicable. This data is classified as voluntary data, but it must be noted that any voluntarily reported information will have to be verified with respect to a consistent level of quality for the entire emissions report. The regulation includes an addition to allow for exemption from per voyage monitoring in the following cases: (a) All of the ship voyages during the reporting period either start from or end at a port under the jurisdiction of a member state, and (b) the ship, according to its schedule, performs more than 300 voyages during the reporting period. The company needs to demonstrate applicability for this exemption within the monitoring plan. However, this exemption does not exclude companies from the monitoring of aggregated data on an annual basis under Article 10 (monitoring on an annual basis),

17 COMPARISON BETWEEN EU AND IMO SCHEMES CO 2 emissions are an issue of global concern. The IMO, at MEPC 69, agreed draft regulatory text for a fuel consumption Data Collection Scheme. The text has been adopted at MEPC 70 in October 2016, as an amendment to MARPOL Annex VI. Further guidelines on the monitoring and verification elements will be developed by the IMO MEPC 71, where two draft guidelines will be adopted EU MRV IMO Data Collection System Enters into force July 2015 March 2018 First monitoring period IMO MEPC 70 deliverabes RES. MEPC.278(70) Amendments to MARPOL Annex VI (DATA COLLECTION SYSTEM FOR FUEL OIL CONSUMPTION); RES. MEPC.282(70) on 2016 Guidelines for the development of a Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP); Draft Guidelines for Administration data verification procedures FA MEPC 71; Draft Guidelines for the development and management of the IMO Ship Fuel Consumption Database FA MEPC 71
