🇪🇺🏭How can I monitor EU MRV emissions and calculate ETS exposure for my ship, including generating an ETS statement?
The EU MRV & ETS module in Fleettracker allows you to monitor CO₂ emissions in accordance with EU MRV regulations and calculate the the needed EUA's under the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS).
⚙️ Module Overview
The module is accessible via:
GHG → EU MRV ETS
At the top of the screen, users can define:
- Ship selection
- Time period
- Optional event interpolation
- Load data via the Update button
Users can:
- View aggregated emissions and compensation values
- Analyse emissions on voyage and port call level
- Access detailed emission calculations per event
- Export data to Excel
- Generate an MRV ETS Statement
This module is a key compliance and reporting tool within the GHG module.
📊 Overview Section
The Overview tab provides a high-level summary of emissions:
- CO₂ Equivalent Emissions
- CO₂ Equivalent Compensation (ETS relevant)
👉 These values represent:
- Total emissions within the selected timeframe
- The portion subject to ETS compensation
A button allows you to:
- Create MRV ETS Statement (see section below)
📋 Details View
The Details tab shows a structured, event-based breakdown of all emissions relevant for MRV and ETS.
🔎 Structure
Each row represents:
- A specific event (e.g. voyage, port call)
- A fuel consumer within that event (e.g. Main Engine, Auxiliary Engine, Boiler)
👉 This means one event can appear in multiple rows, depending on how many fuel consumers are involved.
💡 Example
One voyage may be split into:
- Main Engine (ME)
- Auxiliary Engine (AE)
- Boiler
→ Each with its own consumption and emissions values
⚙️ Key Benefit
- Full transparency: Event → Consumer → Emissions
- Ideal for verification and audits
📥 Export
- Export all data via Excel, including full detail per event and consumer
🧾 Create MRV ETS Statement
The “Create MRV ETS Statement” function generates a consolidated report based on the selected ship and timeframe.
This statement includes:
- Total emissions
- ETS-relevant emissions
- Applied regulatory factors
👉 This is typically used for:
- Compliance reporting
- Internal audits
🔍 Calculation Logic (What you see in the table)
The module automatically calculates emissions based on:
- Reported fuel consumption
- Fuel-specific emission factors
- Regulatory correction factors
Events are:
- Clearly separated (no hidden aggregation)
- Not interpolated unless explicitly selected
👉 This ensures full transparency and auditability of all values.
⚠️ Notes & Best Practices
- Always verify the selected timeframe and ship before generating reports
- Use the Details view to trace and validate emissions per event
- Export data to Excel when working with third parties
- Ensure underlying data quality (event data & fuel consumption) is correct, as this directly impacts MRV/ETS results
