Conference Day One - 6th May 2026

8:50 AM Regulatory Playing Field – The EU Impact

With the first surrender cycles now underway, operators and ports are beginning to understand the real-world implications of FuelEU Maritime and the EU ETS. These measures have reshaped operational planning, compliance costs, and the commercial balance between EU and non-EU ports. As the industry gains first-hand experience, attention is turning to how reporting accuracy, credit trading, and fuel strategy intersect across the European market.

- Early lessons from the first EU ETS and FuelEU Maritime surrender cycles

- How cost and compliance pressures are influencing port competitiveness and routing choices

- How has this impacted decarbonisation and fuel strategy for ship operators

- How are regulators assessing this impact to evaluate any necessary reactions
