BV releases Fuel and Emissions Reporting App

The new phase of My Fuel Consumption (MFC) enables reporting of fuel consumption for IMO DCS requirements, as well as reporting of CO2 emissions for EU-MRV requirements. MFC is designed to ensure that vessel fuel consumption data is automatically registered for the different schemes.

MFC is a secure cloud based web application freely available via VeriStar, the Bureau Veritas client portal. A contract for Bureau Veritas’ IMO DCS or MRV services is required.

A Phase 1 of MFC released in April 2018 enabled the preparation of IMO DCS Plans (SEEMP Part II) for submission to Bureau Veritas for review.

The benefit to shipowners and managers is facilitated compliance with both the IMO and EU schemes, including voyage based activities and “at berth” activities for EU-MRV regulations as well as periodic activities under the IMO DCS scheme. Automatic calculations based on entered data inputs create reports in the required formats for each reporting scheme – including aggregated and disaggregated reports for IMO DCS and customised reports to reflect a change of manager or a change of flag.

The IMO-DCS reports are submitted to Bureau Veritas for review and provision of a statement of compliance. The EU-MRV reports can be generated by My Fuel Consumption and then can be sent directly to the EU’s Thetis database by the owner or manager.
