Show the answer
Correct answer: d) General cargo ships with a gross tonnage of 400 GT and above (and offshore ships ≥ 400 GT, alongside ships ≥ 5,000 GT).
Why it is correct
Following the amendment by Regulation (EU) 2023/957 to Article 2 of Regulation (EU) 2015/757, from 1 January 2025 the MRV scope extends (in addition to ships ≥ 5,000 GT) to general cargo ships of 400 GT and above and offshore ships ≥ 400 GT. Fishing vessels remain excluded.
Why the others are not
- a) Fishing vessels are expressly excluded from Regulation (EU) 2015/757.
- b) Fishing and fish-processing vessels are excluded.
- c) The general threshold is 5,000 GT, and the 2025 extension for general cargo ships sets the threshold at 400 GT (not 500 GT).
How to work it out in the exam
- MRV Regulation (EU) 2015/757 (as amended by 2023/957): 5,000 GT general threshold + from 2025 general cargo and offshore ships from 400 GT (fishing vessels excluded).
