VesselReport for Fleet Managers

by Herberg Systems GmbH

End-to-end compliance solution for the maritime sector

Updated by Onye Dike on August 19th, 2025
VesselReport for Fleet Managers is Herberg Systems’ reporting tool that helps emissions and operations teams stay compliant and protected. It replaces email- and spreadsheet-driven noon reporting with structured capture and built-in validation, facilitating reliable MRV, EU ETS and FuelEU submissions. Bunker Delivery Note (BDN)-based reporting (including bio- and e-fuels) underpins calculations and charterer settlements, while integrations link directly to verifiers and EUA platforms. Ship-shore communication, secure APIs, and an offline mode strengthen data quality and auditability across fleets. For managers who must defend claims, plan EUA purchases, and keep verification smooth, VesselReport delivers a modern workflow.

Core Features

VesselReport’s emissions workflow is built around structured noon/daily reporting plus BDN-based entries. It captures the inputs needed for major maritime sector emissions regulations with thorough verification processes while supporting ship-to-shore collaboration. It's major capabilities are:

  • Regulatory-ready reporting: Configure one reporting flow that’s “simple and comprehensive” for MRV, IMO DCS, EU ETS and FuelEU, reducing rework across regimes. It implements BDN-based reporting on an aggregate basis, so emissions factors come from the actual fuels documented on board.

  • Data-quality controls: Built-in DQ checks highlight implausible entries to crew and shoreside reviewers, while continuous quality monitoring helps prevent end-of-year surprises.

  • Verifier connectivity: Send verification-ready data directly to your verifier; integrations include DNV’s Emissions Connect for generating and sharing required emissions statements.

  • EUA & IT integrations: Hook up EUA platforms (Zero44, OceanScore) and feed data to in-house IT via APIs—aligning reporting with allowance planning and settlements. (Zero44 and OceanScore provide EU ETS/FuelEU management and trading workflows.)

Closing Insights

Herberg Systems brings two decades of ship-to-shore reporting experience to VesselReport. In 2003 it developed its first Daily Report with NSB, Döhle and Harren & Partner, work that informs today’s focus on verification-ready data and clear ship–shore communication. For fleet managers, the tool addresses distinct carbon-accounting needs: defending charterer claims with reliable voyage data; preparing MRV/IMO DCS submissions with fewer queries from verifiers; and planning EU ETS/EUA exposure and FuelEU penalties with up-to-date inputs.

VesselReport integrates with DNV Emissions Connect for streamlined verification, and it connects to EUA platforms such as ZERO44 and OceanScore. Herberg is also inviting users into a development partner program that provides free use until September 2025, alongside API access and regular contact with engineers, helpful for embedding VesselReport into internal systems. Beyond software, Herberg offers agile consulting and prototyping services, giving operators a path to tailor integrations and processes as regulations evolve.

For managers balancing compliance, cost and collaboration, VesselReport is positioned as a practical, extensible backbone today for global, mixed-fuel operations.
