EmissionLink has successfully completed its first FuelEU Maritime pooling cycle, assisting over 600 vessels and achieving a 90% shipowner participation rate. The process addressed complex regulatory challenges, including issues with ice-class vessels, ensuring clients maintained operational continuity.
The initial cycle has shifted the FuelEU pooling market structure, enhancing visibility and competition as surplus positions arise ahead of the 2025 cycle. Market trends suggest that 2026 FuelEU pricing will be influenced by existing surplus, alternative fuel costs, and compliance strategies of deficit holders.
As the deadline approaches, uncontracted operators may experience increased risks and reduced flexibility. The role of biofuels is expected to expand, contingent on market conditions and pool value. Smaller fleets are likely to adopt targeted strategies for compliance, emphasizing the need for proactive engagement with partners to optimize both regulatory and commercial aspects.
