VerifIQ: Automated Emissions Reporting, for EU-MRV, IMODCS, UK-MRV and more...

VerifIQ streamlines your vessels’ Emissions Reporting across all applicable regulations. Our automated reporting tool, enhances dataquality and minimizes your crews’ administrative work!

We use Noon-reports and Vessel statements, as input our cloud-based reporting platform. VerifIQ converts single-source inputs to all required reporting regulations including EU-MRV, UK-MRV, IMODCS and even China-DCS. 

This way you and your crews are sure:

  1. All Emissions Reporting is coherent, with single-source validated data
  2. Your crew has less administrative work to  focus on operations
  3. You avoid end-of-year surprises, combined with our Accredited Emissions Verification solution

There has been an ongoing trend over the last years towards more stringent reporting of and reduction in  Greenhouse Gases (GHG) emissions. Emissions Reporting is already required for: Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Methane (CH4) and Nitrous Oxide (NOx) emissions. The European Union certainly takes the lead, but there are many global guidelines from IMO and others too. This trend will increase, we believe! VerifIQ helps you report across all regulations, without extra administrative burden for your crew.

 

VerifIQ is unique because:

Emissions Reporting EU-MRV, UK-MRV and IMODCS

How does VerifIQ work?

VerifIQ only uses reports that your crew is already making today, to generate the right output per regulation. Our platform is quick, easy to use and you can get started within 24 hours.

VerifIQ allows crews to create multiple Emission Reports, from single-source data, including: Noon-reports, arrival/departure statements (COSP, EOSP), Berthing/Unberthing reports, and bunker delivery notes (BDNs). Our proprietary vessel client submits encrypted data directly to our cloud-based solution on secure, GDPR-compliant European Azure servers. Simple, practical and highly relevant!

VPC, trusted all over the world

We are Control Union Vessel Performance Centre B.V. (VPC). We are part of Royal Peterson and Control Union. Our VPC offers vessel compliance and performance solutions to shipping. We deliver our services globally under a single quality system, through our network of Control Union offices. Our central team of experts is your single point of contact for our global services.

Because reporting requirements differ per regulation, it quickly becomes a huge administrative burden for you and your crews to generate all reports by yourself – and a lot of Excel sheets! 

That is why Control Union offers its solution to automate this. VerifIQ converts existing information into all required reports needed world-wide.

VerifIQ is certified by Lloyds Register and has been a trusted platform for over 8 years by over 300 vessels, and counting….

GHG Emissions Regulations

EU-MRV
The EU requires Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (EU-MRV) for ships over 5,000 GT (and over 400 GT from 1 January 2025) calling European ports regardless of their Flag, as per EU Regulation 2015/757 and amending Regulation (EU)2023/957. Only Accredited Verifiers independent from the entity providing Monitoring and Reporting, can sign-off on Emissions Reports to be reported in Thetis-EU and included in each ships’ Document of Compliance (DoC).

IMODCS and China-DCS
In  2019 the IMO Data Collection System (IMODCS) became obligatory for vessels above 5,000 GT, to collect fuel use, emissions and ship service information per each vessel’s approved SEEMP II. This regulation is based on MARPOL Annex VI . Recognized Organizations (RO) like Class Societies verify IMODCS reports. The Chinese Maritime Safety Administration started its Data Collection on Energy Consumption (China-DCS): similar but different Emission reporting from any vessel calling specific Chinese ports per regulation from the MSA China Maritime Safety Administration in 2018 (contact us for your copy).

CII  and EEXI
The Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII)  is a system for ships to gradually reduce emissions, that the IMO developed as a mandatory measure under MARPOL Annex VI since 1 January 2023. At that time IMO also implemented its Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index (EEXI) to rate energy-efficiency of different vessels, which is included in each vessel’s International Air Pollution Prevention (IAPP) Survey by Class.

SEEMP III
From 1 January 2023, ships of 5,000 GT and above must have a verified Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP Part III) on board to document how their vessel plans to achieve its CII-targets.

UK-MRV
Since  2022, all vessels that are subjected to EU-MRV have to collect data and report emissions per UK-MRV also, for their port calls in the United Kingdom. This is laid down in regulation MIN 669 (M+F) which is likely to be amended in the future.  Verifiers must be UKAS-accredited.

EU-ETS and EUA’s
From 1 January 2024 onwards the EU taxes Emissions from ships through its “cap-and-trade” European Trading System (EU-ETS). Directive (EU) 2023/959 requires vessel owners (or their mandated ISM Company) to purchase and surrender EU Allowances (EUA’s) matching their Emissions that are beyond their yearly allowance.

FuelEU Maritime
As of 2025, the EU is expected to launch its “book-and-claim” FuelEU Maritime Regulation (EU) 2023/1805 which promotes the use of renewable, low-carbon fuels and clean energy technologies for ships – from fuel production wells to ships’ wakes. Fleets of ships should actively lower their GHG intensity of fuels, by 2% in 2025 to 80% in 2050 or pay steep penalties otherwise.
