Bureau Veritas Unveils the Next Generation of VeriSTAR Green for Maritime GHG Reporting and Compliance

A redesigned digital platform supporting maritime emissions compliance, reporting and decarbonization decision-making

Bureau Veritas Marine & Offshore (BV) has launched the next generation of its VeriSTAR Green platform, providing ship owners, managers, operators and charterers with a single digital environment to manage regulatory compliance, emissions reporting and decarbonization performance.

Developed in response to evolving regulatory requirements and refined through customer feedback gathered during the pilot phase, VeriSTAR Green streamlines the collection and management of emissions data while delivering the insights needed to support both operational and strategic decision-making. VeriSTAR Green enables users to report a single dataset across multiple statutory and regional regulatory frameworks, including EU MRV/ETS, UK ETS, FuelEU Maritime, IMO DCS/CII, EEXI/EEDI and SEEMP(s). 

The latest iteration of the platform implements the Operational Vessel Data (OVD) standard, an industry framework increasingly adopted across the maritime sector to support the consistent exchange of emissions and operational data. As an early adopter of framework, OVD has been integrated into the core of VeriSTAR Green, enabling data to be captured, structured and exchanged in a standardized format between shipowners, managers, charterers, software providers and verification bodies.

This consolidated approach to data management reduces inconsistencies, improves interoperability between systems and enhances data quality from the point of reporting. Combined with automated quality checks, the platform supports more efficient data processing, reliable reporting and stronger compliance across a complex and evolving regulatory landscape, while facilitating collaboration between stakeholders.

Beyond regulatory compliance, VeriSTAR Green helps owners, operators and charterers align compliance and commercial processes through trusted fuel consumption and emissions data. As fuel price volatility and carbon costs increase the financial impact of operational performance, access to reliable data is essential for transparent cost allocation and informed decision-making. The platform supports third-party statements covering EU Allowance (EUA) recovery, FuelEU penalties and compliance balance pooling arrangements.

VeriSTAR Green incorporates simulation tools for EU ETS and FuelEU Maritime, CII and EEXI. This functionality has been enhanced within the latest version of the platform to enable users to assess the financial and compliance implications of different operational, fuel and fleet-management scenarios, complementing the platform's existing CII and EEXI tools.

The platform also integrates with market software for ship monitoring and reporting, enabling the automatic and real-time transfer of operational and emissions data, streamlining reporting and supporting information sharing across stakeholders.
