Target Management System for Maritime Greenhouse Gas and Energy
- Appointed as the managed enterprise is the businesses with greenhouse gas emission and energy consumption level beyond a specific standard(legal basis)
- The government and managed enterprise sets the target greenhouse gas emission and energy consumption through mutual discussion.
- Through the policy, the managed enterprise efficiently achieves reduction target by establishing implementation plan and management system.
Standard for Managed Enterprise Designation
If the enterprise or one of the worksite of the enterprise has the greenhouse gas emission or energy consumption that exceeds the following chart for the past 3 years in the marine transportation sector, the business shall be appointed as managed enterprise by Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries.

Responsible Organization by Sectors
Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries designates the managed enterprise in the marine transportation sector(maritime/fishery/coastal shipping/harbor), sets the target, evaluate the implementation performance, and manage administrative tasks
Main Contents
The marine transportation enterprise designated by the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries shall submit “specification” related to the greenhouse gas emission and energy consumption, receive the target, and submit the ‘implementation plan’ for achieving the target as well as the ‘implementation performance report’ to be evaluated of their achievements .

Specification Overview
‘Evaluation Reports such as Yearly Greenhouse Gas Emissions’ for each emission facility of managed enterprise
[Basis : Guidelines for Greenhouse Gas Energy Target Management Operations, Article 102]
[Basis : Guidelines for Greenhouse Gas Energy Target Management Operations, Article 102]
Main Items
- General information of the managed enterprise and business (Industry, address, size, etc.)
- Greenhouse gas emission and energy consumption facility conditions, and each emission and consumption figure of each facility
- Greenhouse gas reduction, absorption, elimination performance
- Managed enterprise specification Verifying Institution and Verification Report
Preparation and Submit Method
Prepare and submit according to the “NGMS Specification Education Material” until March 31st of every year. Refer to the “Guideline for Preparing Ship (shipping) Specification, Implementation Plan and Implementation Performance Report” distributed by Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries.
Legal Basis
Guidelines for Greenhouse Gas Energy Target Management Operations Article 29, Article 30
Target Setting Period
After Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries through the consultation consults with the managed enterprise, following year’s target is set until the September of every year.
- Newly appointed managed enterprise shall set the target in the following year.
Target Setting Process
- Pre-survey and analysis related to target setting
- June ~ August Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries
- Discussion with Managed Enterprise, and Set the Target
- September, Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries, Managed Enterprise
(Basis : Guidelines for Greenhouse Gas Energy Target Management Operations Article 29, Article 30)
Target Setting Method
After adding the expected emission of the conventional facility with expected emission of the newly created or expanded facility, reflect the reduction rate of the business filed for confirming that year’s target for the managed enterprise.
Target of the Enterprise (Allowed Emission) = [(Emission expected from existing facility × expected growth) + expected emission from new/expanded facility] × Reduction rate by the field
