FuelEU Maritime

FuelEU Maritime sets a limit on the greenhouse gas intensity of the energy used by ships. Which of your vessels is in scope, which threshold it exceeds and what you must do — we work it out together.

For shipowners and ship operators active in the maritime sector, obtaining comprehensive FuelEU Maritime consultancy is the most reliable way to protect operating profitability in the face of impending legal sanctions. The FuelEU Maritime regulation, which will come into force gradually from 2025, strictly limits the greenhouse gas (GHG) intensity of the energy used on ships. If these limits are exceeded, fleets will face penalties running into millions of euros. Legacy manual calculation methods or generic sustainability strategies are completely inadequate for managing the alternative fuel requirements of the new era and complex banking/borrowing operations.

At Climaros, we manage your FuelEU Maritime compliance processes for the maritime industry end to end with our expert engineering team. We analyse your vessels’ GHG intensity against current standards and calculate in detail the cost impact of alternative fuel (LNG, biofuel, methanol, etc.) scenarios. We do not just prevent penalty risk: by developing strategic FuelEU pooling models that bring together the high- and low-performing vessels in your fleet, we reduce your total operating costs. We turn regulatory compliance from a burden for your company into a sustainable commercial advantage in international waters.

What the service covers

  • Scope and exemption analysis
  • Fuel greenhouse gas intensity calculation
  • Assessment of pooling scenarios
  • Penalty risk and cost projection
  • Annual reporting and verifier process

Why Climaros?

Unlike standard consultancy firms that reduce sustainability compliance processes to theoretical reports and academic advice, at Climaros we offer an engineering-based, software-supported infrastructure. Our most fundamental advantage over your competitors is that, by eliminating the legal risks of manual Excel spreadsheets at the calculation and simulation stages, we produce data-driven, real-time strategies on our own Emission+ platform.

Our expert team, certified to ISO 14001, ISO 27001 and ISO 9001, has full command of the technical dynamics of the maritime sector, from machinery performance to fuel consumption. Thanks to the financial models and pooling infrastructure we build for your fleet’s specific operational needs, we prevent unnecessary penalty payments and turn your complex compliance process into a guaranteed investment model for your company.

Our Working Process

(Timeframes will be confirmed after the scoping call.)

  1. Scoping Call and Data Analysis: The current fuel consumption, voyage routes, port operations and technological infrastructure of the vessels in your fleet are examined in detail.
  2. GHG Intensity Calculation: The carbon intensity of the energy your vessels use is calculated against the European Union’s FuelEU Maritime reference values, clarifying your fleet’s current compliance position (deficit or surplus).
  3. Scenario and Cost Optimisation: The financial impact on your fleet of flexibility mechanisms such as alternative fuel use, banking, or borrowing from the following year is simulated with our software.
  4. Setting Up a Pooling Strategy: FuelEU compliance pooling strategies are designed between suitable vessels within your fleet or jointly with external parties, minimising commercial risk.
  5. Reporting and Verification Preparation: Final compliance reports, fully aligned with legal requirements, for official authorities and accredited verifiers are delivered in a format ready for independent audit.
