We4Sea BV (We4Sea) has announced that its new module has received certification by Verifavia under the European Union (EU) Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) regulation.

"We are very happy to be officially certified by Verifavia. We4Sea now offers the maritime industry a full range of digital services, focussed on sustainable shipping and reduction of CO2 emissions," said Dan Veen, CEO of We4Sea.

"For the cost equivalence of two cups of coffee a day, we make EU-MRV compliance easy for our customers."

We4Sea notes that the new software module - now certified by Verifavia - captures all MRV-required data within standard vessel forms as part of the normal workflow for arrival, departure, and noon reporting.

The collected data is supplied to standardised reporting templates, which can then be submitted for MRV verification at the end of the monitoring period.

We4Sea further notes that, alongside this process, clients can continuously monitor their fuel consumption and CO2 emissions in real-time through an online dashboard.

"Monitoring and reporting is the first step in improving fuel-efficiency," said Michiel Katgert, CTO of We4Sea.

"Our MRV module can easily be extended with additional modules, which helpĀ  the ship-owner tools to cut his fuel bill substantially. This will not only have a direct impact on their financial results, but it will also improve the sustainability of their operations and lead to a reduction of CO2."

Last month, Ship & Bunker reported that A2B-online Container B.V. (A2B-online), GoodFuels Marine, and We4Sea had launched a collaboration project intended to reduce fossil fuel consumption and CO2-emissions from two A2B-online ships through a combination of bunker-savings and biofuel.
