Verifavia Shipping (Verifavia) has announced that Veson Nautical has received certification for its Veslink Voyage Reporting system as a solution for the European Union (EU) Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) regulation.

Veslink Voyage Reporting streamlines data collection and distribution from vessels, operators, agents, and counterparties.

"We've taken a proactive approach to addressing the upcoming EU MRV regulation so that our clients will be in compliance without having to modify their existing workflows," said John Veson, President of Veson Nautical.

"We're excited to have developed a certified solution within Veslink to ensure compliance well in advance of the deadline, making the process simple for our users. Our philosophy has always been to evolve our products to support the needs of our clients and that includes acquiring certification for regulatory requirements like MRV."

As Ship & Bunker has reported, the MRV regulation requires shipping companies to submit ship-specific monitoring plans to verifiers for approval by the end of August 2017, with per-voyage monitoring set to start on January 1, 2018.

Data collected by Veslink Voyage Reporting instantly feeds standardised reporting templates for submission under the MRV regulation.

Further, system users can continuously monitor their fuel consumption and CO2 emissions in real-time via integrated business intelligence dashboards.

"Veslink Voyage Reporting has been meticulously reviewed by our team of MRV experts against the requirements of the EU MRV Regulation (2015/757) in terms of process and functionality," said Julien Dufour, CEO of Verifavia Shipping.

"We are confident in the system's ability to simplify the process of data collection and distribution from vessels, and to support ship owners and operators in complying with the EU MRV Regulation in a streamlined manner."

Verifavia was certified by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) earlier this year to offer full scope of EU MRV services internationally.
