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 (Text with EEA relevance) article annex_II CELEX: 02015R0757-20250101 Monitoring of other relevant information
A. MONITORING ON A PER VOYAGE BASIS (ARTICLE 9)
1. For the purposes of monitoring other relevant information on a per-voyage basis (Article 9(1)), companies shall respect the following rules: (a) the date and hour of departure from berth and arrival at berth shall be considered using Greenwich Mean Time (GMT/UTC). ◄ The time spent at sea shall be calculated based on port departure and arrival information and shall exclude anchoring; (b) the distance travelled may be either the distance of the most direct route between the port of departure and the port of arrival or the real distance travelled. In the event of the use of the distance of the most direct route between the port of departure and the port of arrival, a conservative correction factor should be taken into account to ensure that the distance travelled is not significantly underestimated. The monitoring plan shall specify which distance calculation is used and, if necessary, the correction factor used. The distance travelled shall be determined from berth of the port of departure to berth of the port of arrival and shall be expressed in nautical miles; ◄ |
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 (Text with EEA relevance) article annex_II CELEX: 02015R0757-20250101 (c) transport work shall be determined by multiplying the distance travelled with the amount of cargo carried; (d) for passenger ships, the number of passengers shall be used to express cargo carried. For all other categories of ships, the amount of cargo carried shall be expressed either as metric tonnes or as standard cubic metres of cargo, as appropriate; (e) for ro-ro ships, cargo carried shall be defined as the mass of cargo on board, determined as the actual mass or as the number of cargo units (trucks, cars, etc.) or occupied lane-metres multiplied by default values for their weight. ◄ For the purposes of this Regulation, ‘ro-ro ship’ means a ship designed for the carriage of roll-on-roll-off cargo transportation units or with roll-on-roll-off cargo spaces; |
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 (Text with EEA relevance) article annex_II CELEX: 02015R0757-20250101 (f) for container ships, cargo carried shall be defined as the total weight in metric tonnes of the cargo or, failing that, the amount of 20-foot equivalent units (TEU) multiplied by default values for their weight. Where cargo carried by a container ship is defined in accordance with applicable IMO Guidelines or instruments pursuant to the Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS Convention), that definition shall be deemed to comply with this Regulation. For the purposes of this Regulation, ‘container ship’ means a ship designed exclusively for the carriage of containers in holds and on deck; (g) the determination of cargo carried for categories of ships other than passenger ships, ro-ro ships and container ships shall enable the taking into account, where applicable, of the weight and volume of cargo carried and the number of passengers carried. Those categories shall include, inter alia, tankers, bulk carriers, general cargo ships, refrigerated cargo ships, vehicle carriers and combination carriers. |
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 (Text with EEA relevance) article annex_II CELEX: 02015R0757-20250101 2. In order to ensure uniform conditions for the application of point 1(g) ◄ , the Commission shall adopt, by means of implementing acts, technical rules specifying the parameters applicable to each of the other categories of ships referred to under that point.
Those implementing acts shall be adopted not later than 31 December 2016 in accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 24(2).
The Commission, by means of implementing acts, may revise, where appropriate, the applicable parameters referred to in point 1(g) ◄ . Where relevant, the Commission shall also revise those parameters to take account of amendments to this Annex pursuant to Article 5(2). Those implementing acts shall be adopted in accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 24(2). 3. In complying with the rules referred to in points 1 and 2 ◄ , companies may also choose to include specific information relating to the ship's ice class and to navigation through ice.
B. MONITORING ON AN ANNUAL BASIS (ARTICLE 10)
For the purposes of monitoring other relevant information on an annual basis, companies shall respect the following rules: |
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 (Text with EEA relevance) article annex_II CELEX: 02015R0757-20250101 The values to be monitored under Article 10 shall be determined by aggregation of the respective per voyage data.
Average energy efficiency shall be monitored by using at least four indicators: fuel consumption per distance, fuel consumption per transport work, greenhouse gas emissions per distance and greenhouse gas emissions per transport work, which shall be calculated as follows:
Fuel consumption per distance = total annual fuel consumption/total distance travelled
Fuel consumption per transport work = total annual fuel consumption/total transport work
Greenhouse gas emissions per distance = total annual greenhouse gas emissions/total distance travelled
Greenhouse gas emissions per transport work = total annual greenhouse gas emissions/total transport work.
In addition, when relevant, ships may monitor average energy efficiency by using the two following energy efficiency indicators: fuel consumption per time spent at sea and greenhouse gas emissions per time spent at sea, which shall be calculated as follows:
Fuel consumption per time spent at sea = total annual fuel consumption/total time spent at sea |
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 (Text with EEA relevance) article annex_II CELEX: 02015R0757-20250101 Greenhouse gas emissions per time spent at sea = total annual greenhouse gas emissions/total time spent at sea
In complying with these rules, companies may also choose to include specific information relating to the ship’s ice class and to navigation through ice, as well as other information related to the fuel consumed and greenhouse gas emissions emitted, differentiating on the basis of other criteria indicated in the monitoring plan.
C. MONITORING OF TOTAL AGGREGATED EMISSIONS OF GREENHOUSE GASES COVERED BY DIRECTIVE 2003/87/EC IN RELATION TO MARITIME TRANSPORT ACTIVITIES AND OF THE INFORMATION TO JUSTIFY DEROGATIONS FROM ARTICLE 12(3) OF THAT DIRECTIVE (ARTICLE 10, POINT (K))
