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?
