Unassigning SMF-3 (SC & FF)

Shipping Companies and Freight Forwarders with assigned SMF-3 can unassign them at any moment, following these steps.

1) In the "Assigned EACs" tab in the "Holdings" section of your account, you should select the SMF-3 that you would like to unassign. When selected, an "Assign" button will appear at the bottom of the screen. Click this button.

Note: Unassigning applies only to SMF-3 that are active in the Facilitators' holding account, not to SMF-3 included in an ongoing transaction, or retired, or removed.

2) A pop-up box will appear and you will be prompted to select the number of SMF-3, emission savings, or transport work you would like to unassigned. Once you enter a value in any of the fields, the others will be populated with the corresponding values, as shown below. If you would like to unassign all these SMF-3, select "MAX".

3) If you would like to include a comment about the reason for the unassignment, this will be shown in the "Holding history" tab of the "Holding" section in as well as in the facilitator's.

4) When you click submit, a new pop-up box will appear informing you of the next steps. First, the Registry Administrators will review it. Then, if approved, the SMF-3 will be returned to your holdings.

5) While waiting for this approval, you can view the information about the unassignment in the "Pending Units" section of your account holdings.

If you would like to cancel this unassignment for any reason, click this transaction to be redirected to the screen below, where you can cancel (highlighted in red). Once the unassignment has been approved by the Administrator, there is no option to revert this action.

6) You and the representative of the Facilitator account will receive an email notification when the Administrator approves the unassignment.

7) You can see your SMF-3 back in "Holding" section as a new subunit with all parameters reset (e.g., baseline, transport work information, and comment section). You can now perform any actions with them.
