Lloyd’s List Showcases BetterSea in FuelEU Maritime Compliance Spotlight

BetterSea Calculator Cited for Delivering Cost-Efficient FuelEU Strategy

As enforcement of the FuelEU Maritime regulation nears, Lloyd’s List showcases BetterSea as a leading provider of compliance solutions in their article, “FuelEU compliance taking shape as implementation nears.”

The piece highlights the sharp financial implications facing shipowners in 2025 and the growing demand for smart, data-backed strategies to navigate these regulations.

According to the article, a vessel burning 2,000 tonnes of conventional fuel in EU waters could face penalties of up to €124,000 under FuelEU.

However, compliance alternatives—such as biofuel-blended bunkering or emissions pooling—are emerging as viable solutions. BetterSea’s software platform was highlighted for its role in calculating compliance options. The analysis showed that using 89 tonnes of biodiesel could offset the FuelEU penalty, costing €107,000 at current prices, less than the penalty itself.

The platform also supports pooling with over-compliant vessels, offering flexibility where biofuel supply or vessel retrofitting is constrained. “Pooling is the most cost-efficient method when compliance surplus is available,” said Maximilian Schroer, BetterSea co-founder. “Our platform allows companies to identify, trade, and validate compliance surplus in a transparent, data-secure environment.”

The article positions BetterSea at the heart of FuelEU Maritime compliance, with a unique advantage: a trusted, regulation-aligned software suite built by shipping experts.
