MRV and DCS Reporting: Automated Verification with DNV Veracity and Bureau Veritas VeriSTAR Green Integration

MRV and DCS Reporting: Automated Verification with DNV Veracity and Bureau Veritas VeriSTAR Green Integration

As maritime regulations become stricter regarding emissions and fuel efficiency, shipping companies are under increasing pressure to comply with the standards set by the IMO’s Data Collection System (DCS) and the EU and UK Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) systems.

UniSea’s platform offers a robust solution to meet these requirements, providing streamlined data collection, reporting, and now, automated verification through a new integration with DNV Veracity. This integration ensures that data submitted through UniSea is verified directly by DNV, reducing manual steps and errors. The integration saves time, allowing companies to focus more on operational efficiency rather than administrative verification tasks. Additionally, with UniSea Power BI integration, companies can extract data directly from UniSea into Power BI for customized reporting, enabling in-depth analysis of fuel efficiency, emissions, and operational metrics.

Key UniSea Modules for Compliance

UniSea’s platform includes specific modules that facilitate data collection, verification, and reporting for DCS and MRV requirements. These include:

• Daily Report Module – Supports daily logging of vessel activities, collecting voyage data crucial for MRV and DCS compliance.

• Support for Cargo and Passenger Registration – Via the Activity log modal in the Daily Report.

• Emission Module – Tracks fuel consumption and calculates emissions, ensuring complete and accurate reporting for CO₂ emissions and fuel consumption needed for DCS and MRV.

• FleetMap Premium – Provides vessel tracking, monitoring distances traveled to fulfill MRV and DCS reporting requirements.
