Bahri Ship Management complies with EU CO2 emission plan requirements ahead of schedule
As part of its commitment to environmental compliance, Bahri Ship Management, one of the six business units within Bahri, a global leader in transportation and logistics, has become one of the first shipping companies to comply with the submission of EU MRV (Monitoring, Reporting, Verification) plans for the full fleet, well ahead of the deadline, the company said in its press release.
At present, Bahri Ship Management operates 39 VLCCs, 23 chemical tankers, 10 product tankers, 5 bulk carriers, and 6 ROCONs. Seven further VLCCs are on order, with deliveries expected to be completed by May 2018.
To comply with the EU MRV Regulation, ship owners and operators of vessels exceeding 5,000 GT and intending to operate to or from or within the European Union must have approved ship-specific monitoring plans (MP), detailing the procedures, systems, and responsibilities in place to monitor fuel consumption, carbon emissions, and associated transport work.
The team at Bahri Ship Management worked in collaboration with industry experts at Lloyd’s Register Quality Assurance (LRQA) to for approval of its monitoring plans. The approval will mean that Bahri’s customers can have peace of mind knowing that the very latest environmental best practices are being followed when transporting their cargoes in and out of Europe.
LRQA is the first group of verification bodies to receive accreditation against the international management system standard for GHG (Greenhouse Gas) validation or verification - ISO 14065 - to globally deliver assessment and verification services related to GHG emissions and specifically, the MRV Regulation. This is an extension to LRQA’s existing accreditation to ISO 14065, under which related schemes are delivered.
