Consultation

Help shape a common standard for maritime emissions data reporting

Published

You are invited to provide feedback on the use of Operational Vessel Data (OVD) as a common standard for exchanging log abstract and noon report data for greenhouse gas emissions reporting.

OVD is already in active use across parts of the industry and is intended to support consistent, structured and interoperable data exchange for regulatory and commercial reporting needs.

The consultation by the Tripartite Joint Industry Working Group seeks practical input from shipowners, managers, operators, charterers, verifiers, software providers and other stakeholders on how the standard can be clarified, improved and governed over time.

Tripartite is an industry forum bringing together representatives from shipowners and operators, shipbuilders and classification societies to address shared technical, safety, environmental and regulatory challenges through coordinated, non-binding industry dialogue.

We encourage you to read the background material and register your interest in joining the planned industry workshop.

Alternatively, you can complete the questionnaire to provide feedback.

It is also possible to both attend the workshop and complete the questionnaire. 

Your input will help ensure that OVD remains practical, scalable and fit for long-term industry use.
