The Platform<\/strong><\/p>\n
 <\/div>\n

THETIS platform is made available to companies and accredited verifiers so that they can use it to electronically submit to the commission and flag states the reports and the relevant compliance documents. THETIS is designed flexibly to form a global system for Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV)<\/a><\/em><\/span> of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). In order to access the platform, each user must log in to the website<\/a><\/span><\/em>.<\/p>\n

As mentioned before THETIS can be used either by companies or accredited verifiers. Before verifiers can use THETIS – MRV to assess Monitoring Plans (MPs) and verify Emission Reports (ERs), there are a couple of configurations which have to be done in the following sequence:<\/p>\n

 <\/div>\n
    \n
  1. Apply for an account registering as a verifier user;<\/li>\n
  2. Enter verifier company details;<\/li>\n
  3. If necessary, add new users under the same Verifier account;<\/li>\n
  4. Define email notification as deemed appropriate;<\/li>\n
  5. Enter Accreditation details to be confirmed by the System Administrator;<\/li>\n
  6. Wait that System Administrator confirms the accreditation details;<\/li>\n
  7. On success, wait that companies request a partnership;<\/li>\n
  8. On success, wait that companies assign the accredited verifier to each ship where verification activities will be required.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    <\/div>

    <\/p>\n

     <\/div>\n

    In the same way, before companies can use THETIS – MRV to draft Monitoring Plans (MPs) and produce Emission Reports (ERs), there are a couple of configurations which have to be done in the following sequence:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Apply for a registration as a company user;<\/li>\n
    2. Enter MRV company details;<\/li>\n
    3. If necessary, add additional users under the same Company account;<\/li>\n
    4. Define email notification as deemed appropriate;<\/li>\n
    5. Request a partnership to a Verifier;<\/li>\n
    6. Wait that the verifier accepts the request;<\/li>\n
    7. Add ship under the scope of the regulation;<\/li>\n
    8. Update missing mandatory ship particulars.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

       <\/div>\n

      Users of the company can create MPs for each ship and later submit them to the Verifier for assessment. Users will also be able to enter CO2<\/sub>\u00a0emissions (by recording fuel consumption or direct monitoring) in view of generating Emission Reports following each reporting period. For companies, the first data to be submitted is the company details, such as name, number, address, person of contact.<\/p>\n

      <\/div>

       <\/div>\n

      Once established and accepted a partnership with an accredited independent verifier (which can be seen in the field \u201cEmail Notifications\u201d by the message; \u201cVerifier is informed that Company requests a partnership to a verifier\u201d), the company can further add vessels to their fleet. The company fills the gaps related to shipping particulars such as IMO number, vessel\u2019s designation, type, flag, gross tonnage, deadweight, home port and port of registry, Classification Society and Ship owner\u2019s name. Once this information is filled, the company can update a Monitoring Plan for each of its vessel\u2019s. For that effect on the separator \u201cMy Fleet\u201d and for each vessel go to \u201cActions\u201d and select \u201cEdit\u201d.<\/p>\n

       <\/div>\n

      In this section, the user can find information that was previously submitted (related to the ship and company data). Nevertheless, more specific information related to the vessel\u2019s procedures, methodologies used on board, types of equipment, materials and fuel types used, need to be added to the Monitoring Plan. In the separator MP Particulars, there is a resume of the date of creation of the plan and also an updated status of the Monitoring Plan (it starts as a “draft” version, further is “submitted” to the verifiers’ appreciation and once validated the status changes to “assessed”).<\/p>\n

       <\/div>\n

      In the Monitoring Plan of the Vessel must comprise the Measuring Equipment used on board, the indication of where it is applied and a technical description. The company must describe the emissions sources used on board and the potential fuel types to be used, and connect them to a measuring equipment. The level of the uncertainty associated with the measurement must be specified in %. In that separator the Monitoring Method used by the ship must be chosen among the 4 possibilities described on Regulation 757\/2015, Annex 1:<\/p>\n
