The certification
Verifavia Shipping has certified FUELTRAX, against the European Union’s (EU) Monitoring Reporting and Verification (MRV) regulation requirements and IMO Data Collection System (DCS).
Verifavia Shipping
Verifavia Shipping strives to be the maritime industry’s first choice for the provision of efficient, competitive, and flexible emissions verification and hazardous materials preparation services, worldwide.
FUELTRAX
FUELTRAX (a product and registered trademark of Nautical Control Solutions, LP), from its inception in 2006, has grown into the leading universal fuel management solution, compatible with any vessel, engine, or fuel, in any location in the world.
Together with its cloud-based data and analytics service, FUELNET, it provides fully self-contained, smart monitoring and measurement, reducing costs and setting the standard for secure, compliant, optimized vessel performance.
Data collection
The EU MRV regulation requires ships of 5,000 gross tonnages or higher to collect data from previous years to monitor
- CO2 emissions,
- fuel consumption, and
- other parameters, such as
- distance traveled,
- time at sea, and
- cargo carried on a per voyage basis.
This data is used to compile annual data into an emissions report submitted to an accredited MRV shipping verifier.
How does this save the client’s time?
FUELTRAX offers this reporting to assist their clients in saving their time by providing the essential tools. The tools assist in verifying if they meet the regulatory needs of EU MRV and IMO DCS.
Fuel consumption for the entire year
Reports will be generated by FUELTRAX teams using data collected via FUELTRAX EFMS on board. IMO DCS data that is provided gives the total fuel consumption for the entire year as required for reporting per the regulation.
Data per voyage
As FUELTRAX continuously collects an independent GPS signal, EU MRV data can be provided per voyage between EU ports as required.
Third-party verified assurance
Nicolas Duchêne, Chief Operating Officer & VP Technical, Verifavia Shipping, said:
Ship owners and operators need confidence in the system they choose to review their fuel data.
- FUELTRAX is a system which optimises fleet-wide reporting while minimising resource and costs.
- Verifavia’s specialist team uses its extensive experience to provide an independent and efficient certification service.
The certification provides customers with third-party verified assurance that the systems meet the highest standards in emissions monitoring and reporting.
Mitigate the rising cost of fuel
John Donovan, VP Operations, FUELTRAX, said:
In a post-2020 world every fuel drop matters. Early adopters who have already been using FUELTRAX are ahead of the curve as the system possesses multiple control measures to mitigate the rising cost of fuel.
“We are so excited to now offer compiling and generating of MRV and IMO DCS reporting to help fleets collect this additional data for IMO 2020 compliance and for their own carbon output analysis.”
