Daphne Technology’s PureMetrics™ Receives DNV Statement of Compliance for Direct Emissions Monitoring

Daphne Technology has achieved a significant milestone as its PureMetrics™ system received a formal Statement of Compliance from DNV. Following rigorous onboard testing and independent technical reviews, the technology was validated for direct CO2 measurement under EU MRV Regulation 2015/757 Method D and MEPC.395(82). This certification confirms that the system provides accurate, real-time emissions data, offering shipowners a reliable path toward decarbonization and transparent environmental reporting while navigating the increasingly complex regulatory landscape of the global maritime industry.

This validation is critical for compliance departments tasked with adhering to the IMO’s MARPOL Annex VI requirements regarding air pollution and energy efficiency. By utilizing Method D, vessels can move away from fuel-based calculation estimates toward precise, sensor-based direct monitoring. This shift is essential for meeting the stringent requirements of the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) and the Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) framework. As classification societies like DNV tighten oversight, adopting verified direct measurement technology ensures that vessels avoid non-compliance penalties and maintain operational integrity during port state control inspections worldwide.

Chief engineers and second engineers are the primary personnel affected by this technological shift. These officers must familiarize themselves with the integration of PureMetrics™ sensors into existing engine room monitoring systems. They will be responsible for ensuring the continuous calibration and data accuracy of the equipment to satisfy surveyor audits. Mastering these digital monitoring tools is now a core competency for technical management, as accurate emissions logging becomes as vital as traditional engine performance reporting.
