FuelEU Maritime – Pooling & Disputes

Some of the issues for discussion:
• The FuelEU clauses for time charterers (e.g. BIMCO)
• The FuelEU Maritime Regulation framework – its objectives, GHG intensity targets, compliance mechanisms (including pooling, banking and borrowing), and penalty regime.
• Its relationship with the Renewable Energy Directive – how sustainability criteria, certification requirements, and renewable fuel classifications interact with FuelEU obligations.
• The relevant compliance entities – including the ISM company, owners, charterers, fuel suppliers, and verifiers, and how regulatory responsibility is allocated.
• The contractual impact – how FuelEU affects charterparty risk allocation, compliance balances, penalties, data sharing, and potential disputes between commercial parties.
• The commercial overview of pooling contracts and the pricing of surplus
