Bunker trading firm Glander International Bunkering has introduced a tool to help users calculate key data for compliance with FuelEU Maritime, which came into effect on January 1, 2025.
FuelEU Maritime aims to reduce carbon emissions in the shipping sector by incentivising the use of alternative fuels and imposing penalties for non-compliance. With the new compliance calculator, Glander International Bunkering aims to help users understand potential penalties and savings based on voyage type, fuel, and quantity.
The compliance calculator is specifically designed for commercial vessels over 5,000gt and adheres to the stricter FuelEU Maritime guidelines rather than the IMO’s. A simplified version supports MGO and VLSFO, while the full version can calculate all fuel types, offering users more comprehensive insights. Additionally, the calculator is built to adapt to regulatory changes, with the next update planned for 2030.
Frederik Moser, Head of New Fuels, said: “As the industry adapts to new regulations, understanding the implications of fuel choices is crucial to operating efficiently and responsibly. Our goal is to help maritime operators reduce costs, avoid penalties, and transition to new fuels in a smoother, more efficient way.”
Aligning with Glander International Bunkering’s ISCC EU and ISCC PLUS certifications, the compliance calculator will help to demonstrate the benefits of certified biofuels, and it supports the company’s commitment to sustainability.
