possible synergies between monitoring and reporting in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2015/757 and existing maritime-specific management systems, (e.g. the ISM Code) and other relevant sector-specific guidance (such as guidance on the development of the SEEMP);
emissions sources on board the ship;
registration of voyages and procedures ensuring the completeness and accuracy of the list of voyages (as submitted by the company);
