REGULATIONS

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2016/1927 of 4 November 2016

on templates for monitoring plans, emissions reports and documents of compliance pursuant to
Regulation (EU) 2015/757 of the European Parliament and of the Council on monitoring, reporting
and verification of carbon dioxide emissions from maritime transport

http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX:32015R0757

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2015/757 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29
April 2015 on the monitoring, reporting and verification of carbon dioxide emissions from
maritime transport, and amending Directive 2009/16/EC (1), and in particular Articles 6(5), 12(2),
and 17(5) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Articles 6(1) and 6(3) of Regulation (EU) 2015/757 require companies to submit to the
verifier a monitoring plan consisting of complete and transparent documentation of the
monitoring method to be applied for each ship falling under the scope of that Regulation.

(2) In order to ensure that those monitoring plans contain standardised information allowing
for harmonised implementation of the monitoring and reporting obligations, it is necessary to
lay down templates, including technical rules for their uniform application.

(3) The monitoring plan should contain at least the elements laid down in Article 6(3) of
Regulation (EU) 2015/757. It should also use the units for determining ‘cargo carried’ as specified
in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1928 (2). Given the two distinct transport
services that ro-pax ships provide, such ships will need to differentiate between fuel consumption
and CO2 emissions data for freight and for passengers. This would allow for a better
determination of their average operational energy efficiency indicators.

(4) Without prejudice to Article 6(3) of Regulation (EU) 2015/757, and in accordance with
the last paragraph of Article 10 of that Regulation, the monitoring plan should allow for the
 EU MRV Monitoring Plan

Rev No. : 0
Date : 25 MAY 2024
REGULATIONS Page : 6 of 40

monitoring and reporting of fuel consumption and CO2 emitted on the basis of other voluntary
criteria. This would make it possible to better understand the average reported energy efficiency.
This concerns in particular differentiated monitoring of fuel consumption for cargo heating and for
dynamic positioning as well as differentiated monitoring of laden voyages and when navigating
through ice.

(5) To make it easier to prepare monitoring plans for companies with several ships, it is
appropriate to allow companies to indicate which procedures described of the monitoring
plan would apply in a relevant manner to all ships under the company's responsibility.
(1) OJ L 123, 19.5.2015, p. 55.
(2) Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1928 of 4 November 2016 on
determination of cargo carried for categories of ships other than passenger, ro-ro and
container ships pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2015/757 of the European Parliament and of
the Council on the monitoring, reporting and verification of carbon dioxide emissions from
maritime transport (see page 22 of this Official Journal).

(6) When providing information on elements and procedures as part of the monitoring plan
pursuant to Article 6(3) of Regulation (EU) 2015/757, companies should be able to also refer to
procedures or systems effectively implemented as part of their existing management systems,
such as the International Safety Management Code (ISM Code) (1), the Ship Energy Efficiency
Management Plan (the SEEMP) (2), or to systems and controls covered by harmonised quality,
environmental or energy management standards, such as EN ISO 9001:2015, EN ISO
14001:2015 or EN ISO 50001:2011.

(7) To make monitoring easier, it is appropriate to allow the use of default values for the
level of uncertainty associated with fuel monitoring.

(8) To make the entire compliance cycle (including monitoring, reporting and verification)
easier, information on management, in particular on appropriate data management and
control activities, should be considered as useful information. A dedicated section in the
monitoring template should help companies to structure the necessary management elements.

(9) It is necessary to lay down specifications for an electronic template for emissions reports.
This is needed to ensure that verified emissions reports are submitted electronically and that they
contain complete and standardised aggregated annual information, which can be made publicly
available and which enables the Commission to prepare the reports required under Article 21 of
Regulation (EU) 2015/757.
 EU MRV Monitoring Plan

Rev No. : 0

REGULATIONS Page : 7 of 40

(10) The emissions report should cover the minimum content as laid down in Article 11(3) of
Regulation (EU) 2015/757, including the results of the annual monitoring. It should also allow for
the reporting of additional information that can help understanding of the average operational
energy efficiency indicators reported on a voluntary basis. This concerns in particular the elements
for voluntary monitoring of fuel consumed and CO2 emissions emitted, differentiated on the basis
of criteria specified in the monitoring plan.

(11) It is necessary to lay down technical rules establishing an electronic template for
documents of compliance. This ensures that standardised, easily processable information can
be included in the documents of compliance sent by the verifiers pursuant to their obligation
under Article 17(4) of Regulation (EU) 2015/757 to inform without delay the Commission and
the authorities of the flag State of the issuance of a document of compliance.

(12) Thetis MRV, a dedicated Union information system developed and operated by the
European Maritime Safety Agency, should be available for companies and accredited verifiers
so that they can use it to electronically submit satisfactorily verified emissions reports and
related documents of compliance to the Commission and flag States. It should be designed in a
flexible way so as to consider the event of a global monitoring, reporting and verification
system for greenhouse gas emissions.

(13) The Commission has consulted parties concerned on best practices on matters addressed
by this Regulation. The consultation was carried out through the ‘Shipping MRV experts'
subgroups’ set up under the umbrella of the European Sustainable Shipping Forum.

(14) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the
Climate Change Committee established by Article 26 of Regulation (EU) No 525/2013 of the
European Parliament and of the Council (3), has adopted this regulation.

C.2.2. PROCEDURES FOR DETERMINING FUEL BUNKERED AND FUEL IN TANKS:

TITLE OF PROCEDURE DETERMINING FUEL BUNKERED AND FUEL IN TANKS

As the vessel is not equipped with its own flow meter

(at the bunker in-take point), bunkered fuel volume is
measured using the supplier's calibrated gauge
(volumetric flow meter or Coriolis mass flow meter). If
no flow meter is available, the volume is measured by
ullage ('dip method') and calculated using the vessel's
Reference to existing procedure tank tables, correcting for trim and temperature. The
temperature is measured using a calibrated
thermometer. When a volumetric flow meter is used,
fuel mass is calculated using the density as given on the
bunker delivery note (BDN). If it is found that the
analysis of the samples indicates a different density, the
fuel mass is corrected accordingly.

Tankers (Oil tankers, Chemical tankers, Gas carriers) -

Before loading, the Chief Officer performs ullage
measurements using portable instruments (which are
certified and annually inspected). A second ullage
measurement is performed again upon completion of
loading. Ullage measurements on all cargo tanks are
converted from volume to mass of cargo considering
density. Cargo calculation reports are then cross
checked by the Master / Surveyor and accordingly
Reference to existing procedure incorporated in the Bill of Lading (B/L). Loading /
Discharging usually takes place in the presence of a
Cargo Surveyor (who may be appointed by Shipper).
As a cross-check, secondary measurement can be
obtained from electronic cargo tank soundings which
are recorded by the ship staff before and after
loading. The cargo quantity calculated by electronic
readings can be compared with the cargo quantity
calculated by ullage measurements.
