GREEK based Verifavia, an emissions verification firm, has announced an agreeement with Wallem Ship Management in Hong Kong and Zeaborn Ship Management in Hamburg, to conduct inspections on their vessels.
Verifavia, headquartered at Voula south of Athens, will conduct verification services based on European Union (EU) Monitoring Reporting and Verification (MRV) and the International Maritime Organisation's (IMO) Data Collection System (DCS), as well as certification of associated IT systems.
Through their agreement with Zeaborn Ship Management, Verifavia Shipping will provide EU MRV verification services as well as IMO DCS verification on most of their Liberia and Panama flagged vessels, said the company press release.
It will also certify all of the IT systems used by Zeaborn Ship Management for these regulations. For Wallem, Verifavia will also provide verification services for EU MRV and IMO DCS across a number of its Liberia and Panama flagged vessels, as well as certifying independent IT system, Vertex SMMS.
'As the world's first independent verifier to provide both IMO DCS and EU MRV verification services, Verifavia leverages its existing in-depth knowledge, expertise, and understanding of these regulations to offer ship owners and operators a streamlined and cost-effective verification process,' the company said.
Many recognised organisations (ROs) have very strict requirements in terms of the way the data should be submitted to them, which goes beyond regulatory requirements and is placing an additional burden on ship owners and operators, said the statement.
Said Verifavia Shipping CEO Julien Dufour: 'If the content is complete and compliant, we then take on the burden of transforming the data into a workable format for the verification.'
