The most expensive FuelEU strategy is to do nothing
The opportunity to reduce your FuelEU costs is right now. Waiting could be the most expensive strategy of all. FuelEU adds new costs and complexity, but also a chance to gain a competitive edge. With the right fuel choices and compliance strategy, ship owners can cut costs, avoid penalties, and generate surplus value. The window to act is open, and the best time to act is now.

The EU ETS allowances have been traded above USD 100 every day since the start of February. At this level the carbon price could increase freight rates by 10-30%. We use four example voyages from the tanker segment to show how this carbon price could impact freight rates on intra EU voyages and on global EU voyages.

The outcome of the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) meeting shows that global regulation will not drive the next few years’ vital development towards shipping decarbonisation. With no agreement on carbon pricing measures, no funds dedicated to support decarbonisation, and even no change in the initial GHG reduction strategy it is still left to individual companies to drive the decarbonisation.
