Oldendorff appoints Verifavia for EU MRV Verification
Oldendorff Carriers has appointed Verifavia, the world’s leading emissions verification company for the transport sector (aviation and shipping), to verify its fleet of vessels in line with the European Union’s new environmental Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (EU MRV) regulation. Verifavia will ensure that all Oldendorff vessels are in compliance with the new requirements mandated by the EU MRV regulation coming into force in August 2017.
As a first step towards cutting greenhouse gas emissions from maritime transport, the EU requires operators of ships exceeding 5,000 GT to monitor and report their carbon emissions on all voyages to, from and between EU ports. Ship owners and operators operating in the EU must prepare and submit their ship-specific monitoring plans (MP), detailing the procedures, systems, and responsibilities in place to monitor fuel consumption, carbon emissions, and other relevant data.
Oldendorff Carriers owns and operates a modern fleet of eco-ships designed to be fuel efficient and environmentally friendly. Our Green Ship Programme ensures that the impact of our operations on the environment is reduced as much as possible and always meets or exceeds environmental regulations.
