In the United Kingdom, The Loadstar reports on 1 January 2025, the FuelEU Maritime regulation will come into effect, imposing strict greenhouse gas intensity targets on ship energy use, with requirements tightening every five years. Companies must comply by 30 April 2026, when the GHG data from 2025 will be reviewed.
Jacob Clausen, director of performance at maritime tech company Navtor, warned that companies without updated digital solutions could be in for a “wave of regulatory pain.” He stressed, “To understand where your fleet performs in terms of GHG intensity, you need insights now.”
Mr. Clausen also highlighted the risks of relying on outdated tools like spreadsheets for compliance, calling for automated systems to manage data and optimize allowances, thereby ensuring both regulatory compliance and improved energy performance.
Friederike Hesse, co-founder and Managing Director of maritime emissions management company zero44, acknowledged that many companies are focusing more on the upcoming regulation, yet “internal processes and data prerequisites are far from sorted out.” She added, “It is still an open question which compliance options companies will choose, as each optimal path is highly individual.”
