ABS Support
For owners who have an existing EU MRV plan in place, necessary data is likely already collected for EU compliance. ABS offers an easy-to-use template to help owners fill in the gaps between EU MRV and IMO DCS compliance.
For those without an existing EU MRV plan, ABS offers a simple template to support a compliant SEEMP.
Once the SEEMP has been updated, ABS can assess the SEEMP for inclusion of the methodology and the processes that will be used to collect and report the air emissions requirements data and issue a Confirmation of Compliance.
To support the collection and reporting of emissions data, ABS offers additional support through its compliance software NS Voyage Manager. NS Voyage Manager captures and manages CO2 emissions data and all other environmental reporting requirements through web and mobile capabilities to provide flexibility onboard and business intelligence in the office. Improve accuracy of data, ease reporting and reduce crew workload with NS Autologger, a secure marine-grade appliance that automatically captures operational data from ship automation systems.
At the end of each calendar year, the collected emissions data is required to be aggregated into annual values and reported by the company to the ship’s Flag Administration or Recognized Organization for verification and subsequent transmission to a central database managed by the IMO. After the required emissions data has been submitted to, and verified by, the Administration or the Recognized Organization, a Statement of Compliance is issued.
