1. Preparation of Report Template Onboard

Please note that for ships which both EU MRV and IMO DCS apply to, both EU-related voyages data and non-EU-related voyages
data shall be input on EU MRV Reporting template. By doing so, the vessel meets both the regulations EU MRV and IMO DCS by
one template.
In the case of ships which only IMO DCS applies to, please use another reporting template and refer to a separate guide, “IMO
DCS Reporting Template”.

Before downloading the reporting templates, please set fuel oil types used and voluntary reporting items for each vessel in the Monitoring Plan.
After that, please download the reporting templates. Please refer to a separate user guide “Registration and preparation” for preparing
reporting templates.
A reporting template is in a ZIP file(<IMONumber>_<Shipname>_Voyage.zip). Please send the ZIP files to the vessels and decompress the ZIP
file on a local drive of an onboard PC.

Unzip

ClassNK MRV Portal On-Board Reporting (Voyage report) – Quick Reference Guide

In the decompressed folder, there are an Excel template and a “bin” folder. The “bin” folder has system files in it that are needed for using the
Excel template. So please do NOT delete/move the “bin” folder or move the Excel template from the folder.
A bin folder is common with any ships. If you lose it, you can copy a bin folder from another vessel.

The file name of Excel templates cannot be changed.

3. Registry is completed.

・Once selected, do NOT move or delete the evidence file from the current folder while using the Excel template.
・As mentioned in the following pages, when sending exported data in ZIP file by email, the maximum size of an email is about 7MB. If
you want to attach a lot of evidence documents, you may have to divide the data in multiple zip files by selecting Excel rows part by part.

13
ClassNK MRV Portal On-Board Reporting (Voyage report) – Quick Reference Guide

3. Generation and Transmission of Report File (zip)


After a certain amount of the data and evidence documents accumulates, you need to export those data into the specific file format which can
be imported into ClassNK MRV Portal.
1) Please click “Validation” button on each sheet to check if there are unsuited data for exporting. If an error message appears, please rectify the
incorrect data. After that, press “Validate” again.

2) After no errors have been detected, please move to “Report” sheet. Then also click ”Validation” button on the sheet to check the input data
again. If there is an error on data, “Check data” cell will show “NG” and an error message will appear. please modify such incorrect data and
click “Validate” button to turn the validation result into “OK”.
3) Make sure that the number in the Count cell is NOT zero(0). If it’s zero, it means that there are no available data to be exported and the data
you are trying to convert have already been sent once before.
4) Please click “Create zip” button to convert the data and make a sending ZIP file. After it’s done successfully, you will be able to find a created
file name and the size appearing on the “Create zip” field.

14
ClassNK MRV Portal On-Board Reporting (Voyage report) – Quick Reference Guide

5) A generated ZIP file and an “hmac” file will be appeared in the same folder. The exported data in CSV format are in the ZIP file. The “hmac”
file is an authentication file which is needed for our data server recognizing the corresponding ZIP file.

15
ClassNK MRV Portal On-Board Reporting (Voyage report) – Quick Reference Guide

6) To import the data files into MRV Portal, there are two ways:
(A)Sending files by email
Emails attached Report files (zip and “hmac”) shall be sent to the following address:

Pf79669814@mx.shipdatacenter.com
This way is suited for vessels, which are usually offline, since they cannot access MRV Portal without continuous Internet connection.
Please send an e-mail attaching both ZIP file and “hmac” file to our data server.

Please do NOT change the file name of ZIP files and “hmac” files.
Please note that sending only ZIP file or only “hmac” file is NOT accepted by our data server.
Also sending the Excel reporting templates not ZIP files is NOT accepted.

You can attach multiple sets of those two files in one email if their total size is less than about 7MB. Any title and body of email is acceptable,
but it’s better at least including the information on identification of the data, such as the period of the data or Voyage No., in the title of the
email in case of searching for them later.

The data will appear on MRV Portal about three hours after sending it.

16
ClassNK MRV Portal On-Board Reporting (Voyage report) – Quick Reference Guide

(B)Directly importing files into MRV Portal


If you are online you can access MRV Portal and directly upload the ZIP files into it on “Voyage Data” tab.
Please click “Import Voyage Data” button and select the ZIP file.
You don’t need to import “hmac” files in this way.

The data will appear on MRV Portal instantly.


If you face an error message when doing this, exporting the data into ZIP file might be failed. Please ask support desk or try to send the ZIP
file and “hmac” file by email.

17
ClassNK MRV Portal On-Board Reporting (Voyage report) – Quick Reference Guide

7) Once the data have been exported in ZIP file, those data will be locked (grayed out) on the template.

Grayed-out data means that those data have been already exported in ZIP file once before and they will not be exported again even if you
click “Create ZIP” button.

18
ClassNK MRV Portal On-Board Reporting (Voyage report) – Quick Reference Guide

When all data are grayed out, the number in the Count cell on Report sheet of the Excel template will be zero(0), which means there are no
available data to export.

If you need to correct or delete those data after transmitting them, you need a further action. Please see the next pages.
If you want to input subsequent new data, please click “add row” button.

19
ClassNK MRV Portal On-Board Reporting (Voyage report) – Quick Reference Guide

4. Correction / Delete of data which has already been exported


(A)Correction
You can correct the data you already transmitted to MRV Portal by sending the corrected data for them.
(1) please uncheck the ”Sent” checkbox of the grayed-out data.

(2) The data will be not grayed out and you will be able to edit it again.

(3) After correcting the data, please click “validate” button and create the ZIP file of the data. (Follow the instructions from page 14 to generate
a ZIP file of data.)

20
ClassNK MRV Portal On-Board Reporting (Voyage report) – Quick Reference Guide

(B)Deletion
To delete the already transmitted data, please uncheck the “Sent” checkbox and check the “Del” checkbox.

Then please click “validate” button and create the ZIP file of the data.

Attention:
Please do NOT use “Sent” checkboxes when you just try to input a new data by overwriting an existing data because “Sent” checkboxes are used
for only correcting/deleting the already transmitted data. For example, on the above sample, if you uncheck the “Sent” checkbox of the already
transmitted data of 20180106(6 Oct. 2018) and input the data of 20201027(27 Oct. 2020) over the previous one, the data of 20180106 will be
removed from MRV Portal.

If you wish to input a new data on the sheet, please add new rows or use another blank template, not overwrite an existing data.

Of course, you can directly edit/delete on MRV Portal. Please see a separate user guide “Monitoring on shore” for it.

5. Appendix 1 Guidance for inputting Correction factor of CII

In accordance with the regulation and guideline, RESOLUTION MEPC.355(78) 2022 INTERIM GUIDELINES ON CORRECTION FACTORS

AND VOYAGE ADJUSTMENTS FOR CII CALCULATIONS (CII GUIDELINES, G5), ships of the following types are allowed to consider

correction factor on CII for specific consumption by boiler or A/E;

a) Tankers (Oil or Chemical)

b) Tankers which operate an STS(ship-to-ship) transfer of cargo

c) LNG or Gas Carriers

d) Ships carrying reefer containers, such as Container ships, General cargo ships

e) Ice class ships

22
ClassNK MRV Portal On-Board Reporting (Voyage report) – Quick Reference Guide

1. CII correction factor inputting method for each ship types

2.1) Tankers (Oil and/or Chemical)

Tankers can consider three type of correction factor 𝐹𝐶𝑒𝑙𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑎𝑙,𝑗 , 𝐹𝐶𝑏𝑜𝑖𝑙𝑒𝑟,𝑗 and/or 𝐹𝐶𝑜𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟,𝑗 :

The parameter 𝐹𝐶𝑒𝑙𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑎𝑙,𝑗 is the mass (in grams) of fuel of type 𝑗, consumed for production of electrical power during the calendar

year which may be deducted from the calculation of the attained CII for the following purposes:

The parameter 𝐹𝐶𝑏𝑜𝑖𝑙𝑒𝑟,𝑗 , 𝑗 is the mass (in grams) of fuel of type 𝑗, consumed by the oil-fired boiler during the calendar year which may

be deducted from the calculation of the attained CII, for the purposes of cargo heating and cargo discharge on tankers.

The parameter 𝐹𝐶𝑜𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟,𝑗 , is the mass (in grams) of fuel of type 𝑗, consumed by standalone engine driven cargo pumps during discharge

operations on tankers which may be deducted from the calculation of the attained CII.

2.1.1) 𝑭𝑪𝒆𝒍𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒓𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒍,𝒋

⚫ Electrical consumption of discharge pumps on tankers. (Part A. 3 of the G5 guidelines)

In case that the ship uses electrical power for discharge pumps, such electric consumption can be considered in CII calculation.

23
ClassNK MRV Portal On-Board Reporting (Voyage report) – Quick Reference Guide

To calculate 𝐹𝐶𝑒𝑙𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑎𝑙,𝑗 , please input kWh measured by the kWh meter on board for driving the cargo pumps as follows:

In case when “kWh” of discharging pump is not monitored, the following simplified method of kWh calculation is acceptable;

𝑬𝒍𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒓𝒊𝒄 𝑪𝒐𝒏𝒔𝒖𝒎𝒑𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 (𝒌𝑾𝒉) = 𝑻𝒐𝒕𝒂𝒍 𝒍𝒐𝒂𝒅 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒚𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒎 (𝒌𝑾) × 𝑹𝒖𝒏𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒔 (𝒉)

Where;

Total load of the system is based on the figure in “Electric Load Analysis Table” for each mode of operation at continuous load

condition (NOT peak load)

Running hours is the total hours that the system (including cargo and ballast pump) has been in operation.

24
ClassNK MRV Portal On-Board Reporting (Voyage report) – Quick Reference Guide

Sample input 𝐹𝐶𝑒𝑙𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑎𝑙,𝑗

Here is the sample input.

Please note that;

Only input when discharging pump is running

Calculate kWh by total output of pump and running hours

2.1.2) 𝑭𝑪𝒃𝒐𝒊𝒍𝒆𝒓,𝒋 and 𝑭𝑪𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓,𝒋

In case that the vessel uses boiler for cargo heating or cargo discharging, the user can input the specific fuel consumption by such

emission sources by MT into the specific columns of an NK Excel reporting template. In case standalone A/Es are fitted for the cargo

discharge pumps, the same columns can be used;

Sample input (𝐹𝐶𝑏𝑜𝑖𝑙𝑒𝑟,𝑗 and 𝐹𝐶𝑜𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟,𝑗 )

Here is the sample input.

Please note that;

✓ All boiler and separate engine consumption when cargo heating / discharging shall be input.

25
ClassNK MRV Portal On-Board Reporting (Voyage report) – Quick Reference Guide

✓ Not applicable when the vessel doesn’t use cargo heating system / discharging pump

26
ClassNK MRV Portal On-Board Reporting (Voyage report) – Quick Reference Guide

2.2) Tanker which carry out an STS(ship-to-ship) transfer of cargo

When the ship carry out an STS transfer of cargo carried, please select “S” on the following columns, “Cargo operation/STS operation?”

to calculate correction factor of STS operation.

27
ClassNK MRV Portal On-Board Reporting (Voyage report) – Quick Reference Guide

2.3) LNG or Gas Carrier

LNG or Gas carrier can consider the correction factor 𝐹𝐶𝑒𝑙𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑎𝑙,𝑗 :

The parameter 𝐹𝐶𝑒𝑙𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑎𝑙,𝑗 is the mass (in grams) of fuel of type 𝑗, consumed for production of electrical power during the calendar year

which may be deducted from the calculation of the attained CII for the following purposes:

✓ Electrical consumption of cargo cooling/reliquefaction systems on gas carriers and LNG Carriers.

Cargo cooling/reliquefaction systems of LPG Carrier (Gas carrier) and LNG Carrier

In case if the vessel uses re-liquefaction/cooling system with generator engines, the electric use for those system can be considered

in attained CII calculation.

In case when the vessel monitors the electric consumption of cooling/reliquefaction systems, such “kWh” measured by the kWh meter

on board can be used for correction and should be recorded on excel template.

In other cases, the master may record the following electric power consumption (kWh) on excel template;

28
ClassNK MRV Portal On-Board Reporting (Voyage report) – Quick Reference Guide

𝐸𝑙𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑐 𝐶𝑜𝑛𝑠𝑢𝑚𝑝𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 (𝑘𝑊ℎ) = 𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑙𝑜𝑎𝑑 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑦𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑚 (𝑘𝑊) × 𝑅𝑢𝑛𝑛𝑖𝑛𝑔 ℎ𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑠 (ℎ)

Where;

Total load of the system is based on the figure in “Electric Load Analysis Table” for each mode of operation at continuous load condition

(NOT peak load)

Running hours is the total hours that the system has been in operation.

Example;

At sea going with re-liquefaction (running 240 hours),

The total load of re-liquefaction systems is 510 kW

𝐸𝑙𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑐 𝐶𝑜𝑛𝑠𝑢𝑚𝑝𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 = 510 (𝑘𝑊) × 240 (ℎ) = 122,400 (𝑘𝑊ℎ)

Sample input 𝐹𝐶𝑒𝑙𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑎𝑙,𝑗

Here is the sample input.

Please note that;

✓ Only input when cargo cooling or reliquefaction system is running.

29
ClassNK MRV Portal On-Board Reporting (Voyage report) – Quick Reference Guide

2.4) Ships carrying reefer containers, such as Container ships, Ro-ro ships, General cargo ships

Electric consumption of refrigerated containers can be considered for 𝐹𝐶𝑒𝑙𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑎𝑙,𝑗 .

The parameter 𝐹𝐶𝑒𝑙𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑎𝑙,𝑗 is the mass (in grams) of fuel of type 𝑗, consumed for production of electrical power during the calendar year

which may be deducted from the calculation of the attained CII for the following purposes:

In case when the vessel monitors the electric consumption of reefer container cooling, such “kWh” can be used for monitoring and should

be recorded on excel template. In other cases, the master may record the number of reefer containers (NOT the number of TEU

containers BUT the number of active reefer plugs) on-board at Departure on excel template.
