FuelEU Maritime FAQs

FuelEU Maritime is a significant impending change to shipping’s regulatory landscape in Europe, introducing new emissions penalties and incentives.

FuelEU Maritime has three main objectives:

  • Reduce the GHG intensity of a ship’s energy when traveling within, to, and from the EU by promoting the use of renewable and low-carbon fuels.
  • Mandatory use of onshore power supply (OPS) for containerships and passenger ships in EU ports.
  • Incentivize the production and use of renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBOs).

To help guide the industry through this complex requirement, ABS has developed answers to the most pressing questions, such as:

  • What fees will companies have to pay for using non-compliant fuels?
  • How is the penalty expected to be enforced over time?
  • What is the impact of energy efficiency technologies on the FuelEU Maritime Regulation?
