UK MRV
Similar as EU MRV, only includes UK-UK and UK-Ext. journeys.
The UK MRV is a CO2 reporting scheme, which is similar to the EU MRV. It is applicable to vessels of and above 5000 gross tonnage calling at UK ports. This includes the following voyages: voyages between two UK ports, Voyages between a UK and non-EEA port (European Economic Area), Emissions generated within a UK port and Voyages between a port in the UK and a port in one of the UK Overseas Territories or Crown Dependencies.
About UK MRV
Key legal requirements under the UK MRV regime
Ships over 5,000 gross tonnes, transporting cargo and/or passengers for commercial purposes to and from UK ports, between UK ports or within UK ports (including while at berth), are subject to the UK MRV regime.
The same exceptions apply to vessels under the UK MRV regime (e.g. for warships), that apply under the EU MRV regime [footnote 1].
Ship operators must have in place an assessed monitoring plan before data collection begins [footnote 2].
The assessment of the monitoring plan and the verification of the annual emission report for each ship needs to be done by an accredited verifier. The verifier must be accredited by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS).
Each ship must have its emissions monitored and its data collected for each reporting period, ready for verification.
By 30 April following each reporting period, a verified emissions report must be submitted to the UK Administration covering the previous reporting period.
By 30 June following each reporting period, a valid Document of Compliance (DoC) must be carried on board each vessel covering the previous reporting period [footnote 3].
A DoC issued under the EU MRV regime and which covers voyages between the UK and European Economic Area (EEA) ports [footnote 4] is recognised as a UK DoC equivalent for those voyages only.
There are requirements on the Administration to make MRV data available and report annually on the findings.
