ANNEX I
Methods for monitoring greenhouse gas emissions
A. CALCULATION OF GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS (ARTICLE 9)
1. Formulae for the calculation of greenhouse gas emissions
For the purposes of calculating greenhouse gas emissions, companies shall apply the following formula:
Companies shall calculate CO2 emissions by adding the CO2 emissions of all fuels i used, applying the following formula:
Companies shall calculate CH4 emissions by adding the CH4 emissions resulting from the combustion of all fuels i used together with the emissions caused by CH4 slippage, applying the following formula:
Companies shall calculate N2O emissions by adding the N2O emissions of all fuels i used, applying the following formula:
Fuel consumption shall be calculated separately for emissions from voyages between ports under a Member State’s jurisdiction, from voyages which departed from ports under a Member State’s jurisdiction, from voyages to ports under a Member State’s jurisdiction, and for emissions within ports under the jurisdiction of a Member State. Fuel consumption within ports under the jurisdiction of a Member State at berth shall be calculated separately.

B. METHODS FOR DETERMINING GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS
The company shall indicate in the monitoring plan which monitoring method is to be used to determine the greenhouse gas emissions for each ship under its responsibility and ensure that once a method has been chosen, it is consistently applied.
The following methods A, B, C and D, based on the calculation approach or the measurement approach, can be used.
Under the calculation approach (methods A, B and C), emissions shall be calculated using the formulae set out in Part A. For that purpose, the actual fuel consumption for each voyage shall be determined using any of methods A, B or C described hereinafter and used for the purpose of the calculation. Sources of uncertainty and associated levels of uncertainty shall be considered when selecting any of the methods A, B or C. The company shall regularly perform suitable control activities, including cross-checks between the bunkering quantity as provided by the Bunker Delivery Note (BDN) and the bunkering quantity indicated by on-board measurement, and take corrective action if notable deviations are observed.
Under the measurement approach (method D), direct greenhouse gas emissions measurements are used.
Any combination of methods A, B, C and D, once assessed by the verifier, may be used if it enhances the overall accuracy of the measurement.
1. Method A: BDN and periodic stocktakes of fuel tanks
This method is based on the quantity and type of fuel as indicated on the BDN combined with periodic stocktakes of fuel tanks based on tank readings. The fuel at the beginning of the period, plus deliveries, minus fuel available at the end of the period and de-bunkered fuel between the beginning of the period and the end of the period together constitute the fuel consumed over the period.
The period means the time between two port calls or time within a port. For the fuel used during a period, the fuel type and the sulphur content need to be specified.
This method shall not be used when BDN are not available on board ships, especially when cargo is used as a fuel, for example, liquefied natural gas (LNG) boil-off.
Under existing MARPOL Annex VI regulations, the BDN is mandatory, is to be retained on board for 3 years after the delivery of the bunker fuel and is to be readily available. The periodic stocktake of fuel tanks on board is based on fuel tank readings. It uses tank tables relevant to each fuel tank to determine the volume at the time of the fuel tank reading. The uncertainty associated with the BDN shall be specified in the monitoring plan. Fuel tank readings shall be carried out by appropriate methods such as automated systems, soundings and dip tapes. The method for tank sounding and uncertainty associated shall be specified in the monitoring plan.
Where the amount of fuel uplift or the amount of fuel remaining in the tanks is determined in units of volume, expressed in cubic meters, the company shall convert that amount from volume to mass by using actual density values. The company shall determine the actual density by using one of the following:
on-board measurement systems;
the density measured by the fuel supplier at fuel uplift and recorded on the fuel invoice or BDN;
the density measured in a test analysis conducted in an accredited fuel test laboratory, where available.
The actual density shall be expressed in kg/cubic meter and determined for the applicable temperature for a specific measurement. In cases for which actual density values are not available, a standard density factor for the relevant fuel type shall be applied once assessed by the verifier.
2. Method B: Bunker fuel tank monitoring on board
This method is based on fuel tank readings for all fuel tanks on board. The tank readings shall occur daily when the ship is at sea and each time the ship is bunkering or de-bunkering.
The cumulative variations of the fuel tank level between two readings constitute the fuel consumed over the period.
The period means the time between two port calls or time within a port. For the fuel used during a period, the fuel type and the sulphur content need to be specified.
Fuel tank readings shall be carried out by appropriate methods such as automated systems, soundings and dip tapes. The method for tank sounding and uncertainty associated shall be specified in the monitoring plan.
Where the amount of fuel uplift or the amount of fuel remaining in the tanks is determined in units of volume, expressed in cubic meters, the company shall convert that amount from volume to mass by using actual density values. The company shall determine the actual density by using one of the following:
on-board measurement systems;
the density measured by the fuel supplier at fuel uplift and recorded on the fuel invoice or BDN;
the density measured in a test analysis conducted in an accredited fuel test laboratory, where available.
The actual density shall be expressed in kg/cubic meter and determined for the applicable temperature for a specific measurement. In cases for which actual density values are not available, a standard density factor for the relevant fuel type shall be applied once assessed by the verifier.
3. Method C: Flow meters for applicable combustion processes
This method is based on measured fuel flows on board. The data from all flow meters linked to relevant greenhouse gas emission sources shall be combined to determine all fuel consumption for a specific period.
The period means the time between two port calls or time within a port. For the fuel used during a period, the fuel type and the sulphur content need to be monitored.
The calibration methods applied and the uncertainty associated with flow meters used shall be specified in the monitoring plan.
Where the amount of fuel consumed is determined in units of volume, expressed in cubic meters, the company shall convert that amount from volume to mass by using actual density values. The company shall determine the actual density by using one of the following:
on-board measurement systems;
the density measured by the fuel supplier at fuel uplift and recorded on the fuel invoice or BDN;
the density measured in a test analysis conducted in an accredited fuel test laboratory, where available.
The actual density shall be expressed in kg/cubic meter and determined for the applicable temperature for a specific measurement. In cases for which actual density values are not available, a standard density factor for the relevant fuel type shall be applied once assessed by the verifier.
4. Method D: Direct greenhouse gas emissions measurement
The direct greenhouse gas emissions measurements may be used for voyages and for greenhouse gas emissions occurring within ports located in a Member State’s jurisdiction. For ships for which CO2 reporting is based on this method applied to all emissions sources on board the ship, the fuel consumption shall be calculated using the measured CO2 emissions and the applicable emission factors of the relevant fuels and emission sources.
This method is based on the determination of greenhouse gas emissions flows in exhaust gas stacks (funnels) by multiplying the greenhouse gas concentrations of the exhaust gas with the exhaust gas flow.
The application of this method to determine emissions of a greenhouse gas shall not prevent companies from applying any other of the methods described under this Part to any other greenhouse gas.
The calibration methods applied and the uncertainty associated with the devices used shall be specified in the monitoring plan.

ANNEX II
Monitoring of other relevant information
A. MONITORING ON A PER VOYAGE BASIS (ARTICLE 9)
1. For the purposes of monitoring other relevant information on a per-voyage basis (Article 9(1)), companies shall respect the following rules:
►M1 the date and hour of departure from berth and arrival at berth shall be considered using Greenwich Mean Time (GMT/UTC). ◄ The time spent at sea shall be calculated based on port departure and arrival information and shall exclude anchoring;
the distance travelled may be either the distance of the most direct route between the port of departure and the port of arrival or the real distance travelled. In the event of the use of the distance of the most direct route between the port of departure and the port of arrival, a conservative correction factor should be taken into account to ensure that the distance travelled is not significantly underestimated. The monitoring plan shall specify which distance calculation is used and, if necessary, the correction factor used. ►M1 The distance travelled shall be determined from berth of the port of departure to berth of the port of arrival and shall be expressed in nautical miles; ◄
transport work shall be determined by multiplying the distance travelled with the amount of cargo carried;
for passenger ships, the number of passengers shall be used to express cargo carried. For all other categories of ships, the amount of cargo carried shall be expressed either as metric tonnes or as standard cubic metres of cargo, as appropriate;
►M1 for ro-ro ships, cargo carried shall be defined as the mass of cargo on board, determined as the actual mass or as the number of cargo units (trucks, cars, etc.) or occupied lane-metres multiplied by default values for their weight. ◄
For the purposes of this Regulation, ‘ro-ro ship’ means a ship designed for the carriage of roll-on-roll-off cargo transportation units or with roll-on-roll-off cargo spaces;
for container ships, cargo carried shall be defined as the total weight in metric tonnes of the cargo or, failing that, the amount of 20-foot equivalent units (TEU) multiplied by default values for their weight. Where cargo carried by a container ship is defined in accordance with applicable IMO Guidelines or instruments pursuant to the Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS Convention), that definition shall be deemed to comply with this Regulation.
For the purposes of this Regulation, ‘container ship’ means a ship designed exclusively for the carriage of containers in holds and on deck;
the determination of cargo carried for categories of ships other than passenger ships, ro-ro ships and container ships shall enable the taking into account, where applicable, of the weight and volume of cargo carried and the number of passengers carried. Those categories shall include, inter alia, tankers, bulk carriers, general cargo ships, refrigerated cargo ships, vehicle carriers and combination carriers.
2. In order to ensure uniform conditions for the application of ►M3 point 1(g) ◄ , the Commission shall adopt, by means of implementing acts, technical rules specifying the parameters applicable to each of the other categories of ships referred to under that point.
Those implementing acts shall be adopted not later than 31 December 2016 in accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 24(2).
The Commission, by means of implementing acts, may revise, where appropriate, the applicable parameters referred to in ►M3 point 1(g) ◄ . Where relevant, the Commission shall also revise those parameters to take account of amendments to this Annex pursuant to Article 5(2). Those implementing acts shall be adopted in accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 24(2).
3. In complying with the rules referred to in ►M3 points 1 and 2 ◄ , companies may also choose to include specific information relating to the ship's ice class and to navigation through ice.
B. MONITORING ON AN ANNUAL BASIS (ARTICLE 10)
For the purposes of monitoring other relevant information on an annual basis, companies shall respect the following rules:
The values to be monitored under Article 10 shall be determined by aggregation of the respective per voyage data.
Average energy efficiency shall be monitored by using at least four indicators: fuel consumption per distance, fuel consumption per transport work, greenhouse gas emissions per distance and greenhouse gas emissions per transport work, which shall be calculated as follows:
Fuel consumption per distance = total annual fuel consumption/total distance travelled
Fuel consumption per transport work = total annual fuel consumption/total transport work
Greenhouse gas emissions per distance = total annual greenhouse gas emissions/total distance travelled
Greenhouse gas emissions per transport work = total annual greenhouse gas emissions/total transport work.
In addition, when relevant, ships may monitor average energy efficiency by using the two following energy efficiency indicators: fuel consumption per time spent at sea and greenhouse gas emissions per time spent at sea, which shall be calculated as follows:
Fuel consumption per time spent at sea = total annual fuel consumption/total time spent at sea
Greenhouse gas emissions per time spent at sea = total annual greenhouse gas emissions/total time spent at sea
In complying with these rules, companies may also choose to include specific information relating to the ship’s ice class and to navigation through ice, as well as other information related to the fuel consumed and greenhouse gas emissions emitted, differentiating on the basis of other criteria indicated in the monitoring plan.
