Early in September 2017, Verifavia Shipping officially certified the “Liberty performance monitoring and compliance solution” in terms of the EU MRV Regulation.
Liberty performance monitoring and compliance solution is a complete operational tool for fleet performance employing KPIs measurements and also automatically detects the EU MRV applicable voyages (or parts of voyages) according to the guidelines of EU Commission while being in fully accordance with the Regulation as it covers all types of vessels and includes all the possible voluntary fields. For maximum usability, Liberty is certified for all three fuel related out if the four available monitoring methods thus allowing our clients across the board to select their method of preference at their convenience.
Implemented on 1st July 2015, the shipping MRV regulation is now a pressing reality for more than 12,000 vessels visiting EU ports, with the first regulatory deadline of 31st August 2017 having just passed. Ship owners and operators of vessels exceeding 5,000 GT and operating in the EU now have until Dec 31st, 2017 for their ship-specific Monitoring Plans to be Assessed by an Accredited Verifier in order to be able to monitor and report carbon emissions, fuel consumption, and associated transport work as of Jan 1st, 2018.
Liberty performance and compliance solution users also have the option to use the system as a complete fleet management and hull & propeller performance solution, based on KPIs, indication graphs and benchmarking together with being compliant with the EU MRV Regulation. All advanced formulae and dynamic smart calculations are based on the Daily reporting figures in order to produce a set of useful information. Liberty helps the operator save time as it provides information of key importance very easily, while the same information can be further used for decision making and troubleshooting purposes. When it comes to cost efficiency, Liberty is a cloud-based software that requires no server installation or other equipment while keeping the user-input information to a minimum within a user-friendly environment.
Enerforce is committed to continuous improvement and as such all upcoming versions of Liberty shall include enhanced hull and propeller analysis and more reporting options in terms of new Regulations, such as the upcoming IMO FODCS.
