IN07 - FuelEU Maritime – Enforcement Effective 1 January 2025
Published: December 23, 2024
The FuelEU Maritime Regulation, part of the European Green Deal, is intended to reduce Green House Gas (GHG) emissions from the maritime sector and contribute to the EU’s broader climate goals.
Effective 1 January 2025 and applicable to ships of 5,000 GT and above, the FuelEU Maritime Regulation requires ships operating in EU waters to monitor and report fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Key reporting requirements include tracking fuel type, carbon intensity, and emissions data with annual submissions to the European Commission. Over time ships must reduce their carbon intensity, with targets becoming increasingly more stringent with the passage of time.
The regulation is intended to encourage the use of low-carbon fuels, non-compliance with which may result in penalties. The ultimate goal is to support the maritime sector’s transition to increased sustainability.
