TRANSPORT: Maritime and shipping

Vessel operators face increasing compliance exposure from both EU ETS allowance costs and FuelEU Maritime’s GHG intensity or renewable blend requirements, particularly across mixed, chartered, or spot-exposed fleets. We help operators manage exposure by structuring EU ETS positions and supporting FuelEU Maritime compliance strategies, including pooling and access to certified bio-LNG to your feedstock specifications.
