With EU ETS and FuelEU Maritime gradually lowering the emissions threshold, and carrying different respective costs, it can be difficult to accurately predict the cost of compliance for a whole diverse fleet. This is especially true when predicting for the future, as we know many organisations are looking to a multi-fuel future. Balancing near-term availability with long-term regulatory and market demands requires strategic foresight. This presentation will explore the financial and operational implications of fuel choices, examining how vessels can achieve compliance over the next 20 years.

Key questions this session will address:

• How can shipowners assess the long-term compliance costs of different fuel options?
• What assumptions and scenarios should be considered when planning for regulatory and market changes?
• How do fuel availability and infrastructure constraints impact compliance strategies?
• What is the financial and operational outlook for maintaining compliance over the next two decades?
