 Maritime Regulations and Shipping News

The FuelEU Maritime Regulation and the EU ETS both rely heavily on fuel-level data to determine compliance and reward the uptake of sustainable fuels. Yet as shipping companies begin to implement these requirements, one of the most pressing questions is practical: how should a shipping company demonstrate that a delivered fuel complies with the GHG intensity thresholds or even qualifies as a renewable fuel of non-biological origin (RFNBO)? Proof of Sustainability (PoS) and Pr

This newsletter series has previously outlined the Onshore Power Supply (OPS) requirement and benefits under FuelEU as also stipulated in Annex III of FuelEU, which incentivizes the adoption of zero-emission technologies while ships are in port. Today's newsletter dives deeper into Zero Emission Technologies (ZETs) at berth going beyond the obvious choice of OPS discussing battery charging, or fuel cells powered by hydrogen or ammonia. The newsletter answers questions such as

With EU ETS and FuelEU Maritime dominating shipping's decarbonisation agendas at the moment and the IMO Net-Zero Framework on the horizon, shipping companies are looking for the best alternative fuels that meet both operational and regulatory needs. Among these, Bio-LNG is emerging, not just as alternative fuel, but as a key option foshipping to comply with FuelEU Maritime, the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS), and the IMO Net-Zero Framework. In today’s newsletter, we loo

With Maersk’s recent change of heart in its decarbonization strategy, diversifying its fuel portfolio including previously criticized liquified natural gas (LNG), the fuel takes center stage demanding a closer look at its role under FuelEU Maritime regulation. The fuel brings the critical challenge of managing boil-off gas (BOG) within the regulation’s framework. What is Boil-Off Gas and how is it accounted for under FuelEU? Boil-off gas is the vaporized LNG that naturally

Last Friday, we had another round of #FunFactFriday quizzes! 🤹 Let’s unravel the mystery of FuelEU compliance and explore the correct answers. This week's focus was on RFNBOs. Friday's Question: Which of the following is considered an RFNBO under the FuelEU? Possible Answers with Given Responses: e-Methanol - 86% HFO/Biofuel blend - 0% Bio-LNG - 14% Blue Ammonia - 0% Correct Answers: e-Methanol General Overview: Understanding RFNBOs and Their Incentives Renewable Fuels of No

An overview of how the FuelEU Maritime indicator, the GHG intensity, influences decision-making on mitigation options.
