On 1st July 2015 Regulation (EU) 2015/757 on the monitoring, reporting and verification of carbon dioxide emissions from maritime transport came in force. The regulation aims to gain a better understanding of fuel consumption and CO2 emissions from shipping activities within the European Union (EU). As a first step, the regulation is intended to measure CO2 emissions, which will then allow the EU to define reduction targets and finally provide with the means to achieve those targets, as appropriate.

Irrespective of a ship’s flag, the regulation applies to ships greater than 5,000 GT undertaking one or more commercial voyages into, out of or between EU ports. It requires per-voyage monitoring of CO2 emissions as well as annual disclosure of aggregated data on a ship basis.
