By 14/02/2026: Procurement & Installation of Software
Owners of maritime fuel supply and transport vessels must procure the computing unit and install on it the software provided by IAPR for the collection and digital transmission of inflow-outflow fuel data.
By 14/04/2026: Pilot Data Transmission Phase
The test transmission of inflow–outflow data to the IAPR Signal Reception Center begins immediately upon software installation and must be completed no later than 14/04/2026.
From 15/04/2026: Commencement of Full Operational Deployment
The integrated inflow-outflow monitoring system for maritime fuel is placed in full productive operation from 15/04/2026. From that date onward, the registration and transmission of all required data becomes mandatory.
Availability of Computing Unit Software for the Inflow-Outflow System on Maritime Fuel Supply and Transport Vessels
The Independent Authority for Public Revenue (IAPR) announces that the Computing Unit software for the collection and electronic transmission of inflow-outflow data on maritime fuel supply and transport vessels will be available as of January 30, 2025, in accordance with Joint Ministerial Decision A.1191/20-12-2024.
- Responsible Party for the Installation and Proper Operation of the Computing Unit: Must register their details in the Register of Energy Product Tanks of Floating Means within one (1) month from the acquisition of their contractual status.
- After successful registration, they must notify the relevant IAPR Directorate by sending an email to fueltank@aade.gr to receive, via email, the complete documentation for the procurement and installation of the software developed by IAPR, which must be installed on the Computing Unit. This software is essential for the collection and electronic transmission of inflow-outflow data from maritime fuel supply and transport vessels.
