Paragraph 16 Maritime monitoring and reporting principlesF1

a maritime operator must determine emissions using the appropriate monitoring methodology set out in Part 4;

monitoring and reporting must be complete and cover all maritime emissions;

a maritime operator must apply appropriate measures to prevent any data gaps within the scheme year;

monitoring and reporting must be consistent and comparable over time and, to that end, a maritime operator must use the same monitoring methodologies and data sets subject to variations approved by the regulator;

a maritime operator must obtain, record, compile, analyse and document monitoring data, including assumptions, references, emission factors and activity data, in a transparent manner that enables the reproduction of the determination of maritime emissions by the verifier and the regulator;

a maritime operator must ensure that the determination of maritime emissions is neither systematically nor knowingly inaccurate, and must identify and reduce any source of inaccuracies;

a maritime operator must enable reasonable assurance of the integrity of the maritime emission data to be monitored and reported;

a maritime operator must exercise due diligence to ensure that the calculation and measurement of maritime emissions are of the highest achievable accuracy;

a maritime operator must endeavour to take account of the recommendations included in the verification reports issued under paragraph 59 in their subsequent monitoring and reporting.
