Shipping firm Wallenius Sol has joined Gasum’s FuelEU Maritime pool as a compliance generator, adding its dual-fuel vessels to a system designed to help shipowners meet the EU’s carbon intensity targets.
By operating on bio-LNG, Wallenius Sol’s vessels will generate surplus compliance credits that can be shared with other operators within Gasum’s pool, easing the burden of FuelEU compliance.
“We are very excited that Wallenius Sol has decided to join our FuelEU Maritime pool, as this collaboration enables us to open even more regulation surplus to shipowners at this pivotal point,” said Jacob Granqvist, Vice President, Maritime, Gasum.
“The window for securing compliance for 2025 is closing rapidly and the available capacity may run out before the year end.”
“Together with Gasum, we are scaling the use of renewable gases at sea,” added Rebecca Tagaeus, Chief Sustainability Officer at Wallenius Sol.
“Switching to bio-LNG for our Enabler-class vessels is clear proof that our Roadmap is delivering.”
The FuelEU Maritime regulation, effective from this year, requires vessels calling at EU ports to cut the carbon intensity of their fuel by 2% compared with 2020 levels. Gasum manages the pool and supplies bio-LNG to designated vessels, while DNV verifies its balance annually.
