Global dry bulk shipping company Oldendorff Carriers has selected Verifavia Shipping to authenticate its vessel fleet in line with the European Union's (EU) Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (EU MRV) regulations.

The arrangement will see Verifavia assess Oldendorff’s monitoring plans and verify the shipping line’s carbon emission reports according to the ISO 14065 standard and regulation 757 / 2015.

The MRV came into effect in July 2015, and requires EU-based owners and opeators of vessels exceeding 5,000t to prepare and submit ship-specific monitoring plans to detect and report carbon emissions, fuel consumption and associated transport data. 

A deadline of 31 August 2017 has been set for the ship owners and operators to ensure they meet the new requirements.

Oldendorff Carriers projects manager Christopher Fee said: “With our modern fleet of eco-ships coupled with the ongoing efforts of those working on our dedicated Green Ship Programme, Oldendorff remains committed to ensuring that the impact of our operations on the environment is minimised as much as is practically possible.

"Oldendorff remains committed to ensuring that the impact of our operations on the environment is minimised as much as is practically possible."

“Working with Verifavia ensures that we are on track to meet and exceed our EU MRV responsibilities, and to achieve timely compliance with the requirements mandated by this environmental regulation.”
