On March 23, 2023, the European Union (EU) adopted the FuelEU Maritime Regulation, a groundbreaking measure to cut greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by at least 55% by 2030. This initiative is central to creating a more sustainable future for global shipping.

Key Details of the Regulation:
Implementation Timeline

The regulation takes effect on January 1, 2025.
Emission Reduction Goals

GHG intensity must decrease progressively, starting with 2% by 2025 and reaching 80% by 2050.
Promoting Sustainable Fuels

The regulation encourages the use of renewable and low-carbon fuels while maintaining flexibility for innovative solutions.
Monitoring & Compliance

Shipping companies must monitor fuel use and emissions, reporting via the EU’s THETIS-MRV system.
Onshore Power Requirements

From January 1, 2030, certain vessels will be required to connect to onshore power or adopt zero-emission technologies while at berth in EU ports.
