With stringent decarbonisation regulations already in force within the EU/EEA, the European authorities are now focusing on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from ships sailing in EU/EEA waters and on the GHG intensity of the fuels burnt on board. Once the measures of the 2023 IMO Strategy on Reduction of GHG Emissions f
One year into FuelEU, the first penalties are being incurred, and the shipping industry is still figuring out who pays, how and when. From biofuel handling to reporting obligations, multipliers and credit pooling, shipowners and charterers face a complex web of requirements.
