Commercial maritime decarbonization
How to turn regulations into carbon-smart, compliant, and commercially sound decisions.
Sustainability in maritime shipping is no longer just a secondary objective—new and evolving regulations have cemented its place as a central variable in every contract. As carbon pricing, fuel standards, and reporting mandates continue to expand across regions and voyage types, the most successful organizations won’t be those who simply meet existing regulatory requirements—they’ll be the ones who are ready for the next.
Veson enables compliance across the full carbon regulation landscape while preparing organizations to readily adapt to new regulations and requirements in the future. Below, learn how Veson’s solutions support adherence to major maritime carbon regulations.
How to navigate carbon regulations with Veson solutions
Veson enables compliance across the full carbon regulation landscape while preparing organizations to readily adapt to new regulations and requirements in the future.
EU ETS: Managing allowance exposure at the voyage level
The EU ETS extends carbon pricing to shipping, requiring operators to monitor CO₂ emissions, forecast allowance needs, and account for exposure across intra- and extra-EU voyages.
Veson embeds ETS logic directly into voyage P&L and settlement workflows so teams can:
- Calculate CO₂ e exposure dynamically by voyage and scope
- Forecast allowance requirements and simulate EUA price impacts
- Reconcile allowances automatically within the voyage ledger
FuelEU Maritime: Calculating GHG-intensity and managing compliance balances
FuelEU introduces well-to-wake fuel-intensity limits and a credit system that requires continuous monitoring and balance tracking across the fleet.
Veson connects voyage, fuel, and emissions data to automate intensity calculation and credit management so teams can:
- Monitor real-time GHG intensity against annual targets
- Generate and trade FuelEU credits with full audit traceability
- Integrate performance directly into voyage profitability analysis
Emerging Fuels: Adapting to new fuel types
Emerging fuels—bio-blends, LNG, methanol, ammonia—bring diverse lifecycle profiles, certification requirements, and regional rule complexity.
Veson’s flexible fuel architecture and integrated fuel / emissions data workflows let teams:
- Configure and compare WtW and TtW emission factors for new fuels
- Run scenario modeling of regulatory schemes and compliance cost structures
- Configure workflows to new lifecycle-based measures as they emerge
Sustainable Chartering: Considering sustainability in chartering decisions
Charterers want vessels that align with their carbon targets, while operators want to showcase verified performance. A solution that provides the data and workflow automation to support both of these objectives is critical in meeting decarbonisation objectives.
Veson enables sustainability data to become discoverable, comparable, and actionable across the commercial workflow with the ability to:
- Expose verified CII, FuelEU, and carbon-intensity metrics directly within the chartering process
- Match cargoes, vessels, and counterparties based on sustainability performance and ESG criteria
- Provide auditable emissions profiles and voyage histories through integrated data
- Enable counterparties to act confidently on the same verified environmental dataset
