Maritime decarbonisation group Green Marine Pte Ltd and maritime decarbonisation technology company MarinaChain Co Ltd recently announced the launch of Verdaxis, a new joint venture established to support shipping’s transition to low-carbon and alternative fuels through an AI-enabled digital platform. Launched on 22 April 2026, and hosted in Singapore, Verdaxis is designed to help shipowners, charterers, fuel suppliers, traders, financiers and other maritime stakeholders navigate the growing complexity of fuel procurement, regulatory compliance, market intelligence and operational readiness. Verdaxis aims to bridge the gap between maritime decarbonisation targets and the practical realities of physical fuel availability, commercial pricing, sustainability verification and operational acceptance. Through market connectivity, structured matching tools and compliance-focused workflows, the platform supports more practical pathways from policy ambition to commercial deployment. A core pillar of Verdaxis is its AI-enabled marketplace model, which connects qualified participants around specific fuel pathways, ports, volumes and availability windows. By helping credible buyers and sellers identify transaction-ready opportunities, Verdaxis is designed to improve market transparency, support price discovery and reduce friction in emerging marine fuel markets. The platform will initially focus on transition fuels including methanol, ethanol and advanced biofuels. Verdaxis users will have access to: AI-enabled marketplace connectivity for verified buyers and sellers Structured matching for fuel requirements, supply availability and use cases Compliance tools for EU ETS, FuelEU Maritime and emerging IMO measures Market intelligence, indicative pricing and supply availability insights Digital training, bunkering support and fuel transition advisory services Fredrik Stubner, Founder & Partner and CEO of Engineering at Green Marine , said: “Shipping’s fuel transition is moving
