Disclosure form

No single formula

Report the source-defined result with its stated fields and method disclosures. This is a separately reportable TNFD fishing-sector outcome required as an additional disclosure for C2.2. It is not an emission factor, calculation operand, illustrative action, or contextual statement. The source specifies counts and proportions but does not prescribe a universal unit, denominator, or classification method; therefore it is published as a structured disclosure with field-level units and required boundary and method disclosures. No shortlisted existing metric has the same vessel end-of-life construct, boundary, value shape, and dimensional requirements.

Verified sources

Evidence and status sources

Sustopedia checked each record-specific claim directly against primary publisher material. Labels distinguish current measurement authority from future compatibility and corroborative, legal, edition, or method status context. Corroborative evidence can support a stated limitation but cannot establish the core measurement by itself.

Method disclosures required

Source-edition basis: TNFD sector guidance, Final English sector guidance collection through August 2026 (17 documents).

  • Define decommissioned, planned for decommissioning, recycling, and third-party disposal for reporting purposes.
  • Disclose the eligible vessel population and whether the boundary includes fleet vessels, sourced vessels, or both.
  • Disclose the denominator used for each reported proportion and how vessels with multiple disposal pathways are treated.
  • Disclose the reporting-period basis and whether status is measured at period end, during the period, or as a forward plan.
  • Disclose the recycling-method and third-party-disposal classification used, including treatment of unknown or unverified disposal outcomes.
  • Retain TNFD attribution for the source guidance; do not imply TNFD licensing applies to named third-party disposal providers, standards, or trademarks.

Record-specific limitations

  • The TNFD sector guidance requires disclosure of decommissioning status but does not prescribe a single denominator, vessel taxonomy, recycling-method taxonomy, disposal taxonomy, or calculation method.
  • Comparability depends on disclosure of whether vessels are owned, controlled, leased, managed, chartered, or sourced and on the organization's definition of decommissioning.
  • The reported proportion may not be comparable across organizations unless the eligible vessel population and treatment of planned decommissioning are disclosed.

Interpret this metric with the stated reporting boundary, period convention, value shape, and unit. Results prepared with different boundaries or conventions may not be directly comparable.

Measurement evidence supports the core record-specific claims described above. Corroborative evidence can support limitations, while compatibility and status sources provide their separately labelled context. None of these cards by itself determines an organisation's legal applicability, filing readiness, assurance status, or compliance conclusion.
