Tokyo-based classification society ClassNK has released ‘FAQs on the FuelEU Maritime (2nd Edition)’ providing details on responsible entities and timeline required for shipping companies.
FuelEU Maritime, an EU regulation aimed at promoting the decarbonisation of fuels used on board ships, has entered into force and will apply to all ships above 5,000gt calling at EU ports from 1 January 2025.
In this FAQs on the FuelEU Maritime (2nd Edition), the explanation regarding the responsible entities under the regulation and the necessary regulatory compliance timeline for shipping companies have been added, and the contents have been updated based on the latest information. ClassNK will continue to strive to support stakeholders in the shipping sector through such guidance provision as part of the ClassNK Transition Support Services. Some points are still to be clarified about the practical implementation of FuelEU Maritime, and thus the information provided in the latest FAQs is solely based on the situation as of May 2024. Latest information will be provided to the stakeholders accordingly once further details become available.
