Why pooling matters
FuelEU Maritime encourages operators to share compliance surpluses and deficits across fleets, creating flexible credit pools. Managing the legal and financial paperwork behind these pools, however, can demand extensive in house resources. BetterSea built a digital marketplace that normalises contracts, automates settlement, and shows real time balances. The new alliance gives Evigo customers access to this capability under the Evigo brand without changing existing software.
A fresh insight
When vessels connect through one standardised pool, the daily price swings of compliance credits are softened because demand and supply are matched inside the pool first. This internal smoothing can lower hedging costs for owners and charterers, a hidden but valuable benefit of the arrangement.
How the partnership works
BetterSea provides the core platform, including smart legal templates, automated escrow, and verified emissions data feeds. Evigo contributes client support, advisory services, and deep experience in fleet efficiency. White labelling ensures that users see familiar Evigo interfaces while gaining the strength of a larger network behind the screen.
The integration requires no new shipboard hardware and minimal shore side effort; data flows from existing noon reports or EU monitoring systems directly into the platform. Financial settlement of pooling positions is handled through digital wallets backed by European banking partners, providing clarity and audit trails.
Market reach and next steps
Through Evigo, hundreds of additional vessels will join the marketplace, increasing liquidity and making it easier for small operators to participate. The partners plan training sessions and webinars to explain pooling mechanics and credit forecasting ahead of the first compliance year.
Conclusion
BetterSea and Evigo demonstrate that collaboration can turn regulation into opportunity. By reducing administrative friction and evening out credit volatility, their shared platform helps the maritime community meet environmental goals while preserving commercial agility.
