This Regulation applies to ships, entering or leaving the ports in China, of 400 gross tonnage and above or powered by main propulsion machinery of 750 kW propulsion power and above. This Regulation does not apply to warships or fishing ships.

A seagoing ship could submit monthly report to MSA instead of voyage report if it is subject to one of the following conditions:

– sailing in fixed region and the time underway per voyage is 4 hours or less or

– sailing on fixed route and the time underway per voyage is 12 hours or less.

A seagoing ship which plans to submit a monthly report shall record the energy consumption data daily or of each voyage on logbook or specified record book. Chinese flagged vessels of 5,000 GT and above trading internationally, and inland ships report energy consumption data on an annual basis.

Ships shall report the required data prior to departure via maritime information platform maintained by China MSA at http://cspur.msa.gov.cn/ShipReportWeb/register/register.do
