The most important milestones for the MRV and DCS are:

• EU MRV: The verified EU MRV annual emission reports for 2021 should be submitted to the EU Commission by 30 April 2022, and the related documents of compliance should be on board by 30 June 2022.
• IMO DCS: The 2021 year-end reports for IMO DCS should be submitted to the verifier by 31 March 2022, and the Statements of Compliance (SoCs) should be on board by 31 May 2022.

EU MRV deadline: 30 April 2022

After verification, the XML files of the annual Emissions Reports (ER) are provided for download from the Fleet Status portal on Veracity. Our MRV customers must take those files and upload them as ERs to THETIS-MRV and submit them to DNV for verification in THETIS. After DNV has marked the ER as “verified as satisfactory” in THETIS, companies responsible for vessels subject to the EU MRV scheme shall, as per EU Regulation 2015/757 Art. 11.1, submit the verified ER to the EU Commission by 30 April. Then the vessel’s Document of Compliance (DoC) can be downloaded from THETIS and must be placed on board no later than 30 June.

IMO DCS deadlines: 31 March (FOCR) and 31 May (SoC) 2022

By 31 March, companies must (according to MARPOL Annex VI, Reg. 22A.3) submit the year-end fuel oil consumption report (FOCR) to their DCS verifier. DNV is fully authorized for DCS verification by most flag states. Customers should, however, note that the authorization levels may be limited for some flags. After verification, depending on the authorization level from the flag, DNV will provide customers either with a Statements of Compliance (SoCs) on the FOCRs or DNV will issue a verification letter, for download from the Fleet Status portal on Veracity.

By 31 May, the SoC on the FOCR must be placed on board. Summary of the deadlines:
