Calculation of greenhouse gas intensity of the energy used on board, ship’s compliance balance, and non-compliant port calls
Article 26
1. On the basis of the FuelEU report or partial FuelEU report verified as satisfactory, the verifier shall: (a) calculate, using the method specified in Annex I of to Regulation (EU) 2023/1805, the yearly average greenhouse gas intensity of the energy used on board by the ship concerned; (b) calculate, using the formula specified in Part A of Annex IV to Regulation (EU) 2023/1805, the ship’s compliance balance, adjusted for any advance compliance surplus banked or borrowed in the previous reporting period; (c) calculate the number of non-compliant port calls, including the time spent moored at the quayside and the time spent at anchorage where applicable in accordance with Article 6(11) of Regulation (EU) 2023/1805, for each port call non-compliant with the requirements set out in Article 6 of Regulation (EU) 2023/1805, in the previous reporting period starting from the reporting period of 2030; (d) calculate the amount of the yearly energy used on board by a ship, excluding energy from Onshore Power Supply; (e) calculate the amount of the yearly energy used on board by a ship coming from renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBOs). 2. In addition to the requirements of Article 16(4) of Regulation (EU) 2023/1805, when determining the non-compliant port calls, the verifier shall verify that the reported hours of non-compliance with the requirements set out in Article 6 of Regulation (EU) 2023/1805 are in fact related to ships that are securely moored at quayside in ports referred to in Article 6(1) and (2) of that Regulation, or at an anchorage referred to in Article 6(11) of that Regulation. 3. By 31 March of the reporting year and no later than 1 month thereafter, the verifier shall record it in the FuelEU database the information referred to in Article 16(4) of Regulation (EU) 2023/1805. For that purpose, the verifier shall make use of the template set out in Annex III. That information should be accompanied by the following elements: (a) a reference to the verification report; (b) a reference to the FuelEU report and the reporting period subject to verification; (c) a reference to one or more monitoring plans that have been assessed as satisfactory; (d) a reference to the assumptions and sources of data.
