NAPA Updates Performance Monitoring and Reporting Systems for EU MRV Compliance
NAPA today announced that has updated its performance monitoring and reporting systems to enable "simple, straightforward compliance" with the European Union's (EU's) Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) regulation.
"Users of NAPA Shipping Solutions, ClassNK-NAPA GREEN and NAPA-DSME Power can generate automatically created annual or voyage-by-voyage MRV reports and export them as CSV files, requiring only a small process change by crew," explained NAPA, noting that crew are required to update the performance monitoring system with changes of activity, such as being in port or at anchor.
From there, the performance monitoring system can automatically collect data on fuel consumption from main engines, auxiliary engines, gas turbines, boilers, and inert gas generators, reporting fuel type and fuel consumption data for each engine.
That data is then automatically shared with shore-based teams, ready for export from NAPA Office as a CSV file and submission to the EMSA portal.
"Complying with EU MRV presents a significant challenge globally for ship owners and operators with vessels visiting European waters," commented Risto Kariranta, Director of Services at NAPA Shipping Solutions.
"Determining data collection methods before the end of August, and completing that data collection, compiling and submitting reports from next year could all take significant man hours. As leaders in supporting productivity in ship operations, as well as supporting efficiency-led CO2 reductions, we are pleased to offer our customers systems that make this process as easy as possible for vessels with performance monitoring systems installed."
Kariranta further notes that the functionality of he updated system "has also been designed to meet reporting criteria and be compatible with the IMO's fuel consumption data collection system from 2019."
In May, NAPA announced the launch of a new concept of ship performance monitoring, a "plug and play, zero-installation," cloud-based web service known as NAPA Fleet Intelligence, intended to provide high-accuracy performance monitoring for any vessel, regardless of ownership or charterer.
