This document outlines the Automated Compliance Reporting solution developed by Gelectric. The primary objective of this solution is to streamline the complex reporting requirements for EU ETS, IMO DCS, and EU MRV. By utilizing the Automated Data Catcher, we transform unstructured vessel data into verified, audit-ready datasets, ensuring that shipping companies meet their environmental obligations accurately and on time.
The maritime industry is facing a new era of environmental accountability. Regulations such as the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) and the FuelEU Maritime initiative require vessel operators to report precise emissions data. Historically, this has been a manual, fragmented process involving the collection of paper-based bunker delivery notes and manual noon reports. As carbon emissions now carry a direct financial cost in the form of EU Allowances (EUAs), the margin for error in reporting has disappeared.
The primary challenges identified in regulatory compliance reporting include:

To address the identified problems, Gelectric provides a dedicated compliance layer within the automated data pipeline:
Port-to-Port Voyage Details Extracting arrival/departure times, berth stay durations, and cargo quantities. Source: Arrival/Departure Reports & Port Log PDFs.
Fuel-Specific Emission Profiles Differentiating between HFO, LFO, and Biofuels to apply correct emission multipliers. Source: Bunker Delivery Notes (BDNs).
Transport Work Metrics Calculating "Cargo Handled" vs. "Distance Traveled" to fulfill MRV efficiency reporting requirements. Source: Cargo Manifests & Noon Reports.
Onshore Power Supply (OPS) Usage Tracking time connected to shore power to reduce taxable emissions under FuelEU Maritime. Source: Technical Logs & Engine Room PDFs.
Following the activation of the Automated Data Catcher, the compliance team gains access to a pre-verification dashboard:
The Gelectric Automated Data Catcher removes the friction and risk from maritime compliance. By automating the data journey from the vessel’s deck to the regulator’s desk, we ensure that compliance is a byproduct of efficient operations rather than a manual chore. In an era where "data is currency," our solution ensures your emissions reporting is as precise as your financial accounting.
