Meet FuelEU Maritime targets—without disrupting voyages, budgets, or charter commitments.
FuelEU Maritime changes how ships calling at EU ports must plan fuel use, emissions intensity, and reporting. VURDHAAN helps ship operators turn regulatory limits into a practical fuel and compliance program—built for operations, finance, and audit.
What happens next: a focused scoping call, exposure snapshot, and a realistic compliance roadmap.
FuelEU Maritime in One View
FuelEU Maritime regulates the greenhouse-gas intensity of energy used onboard ships calling at EU ports. Compliance is measured over time, with tightening limits through 2050.
The Real Challenge: FuelEU is Operational, Not Theoretical
Supply & Cost Reality
Low-carbon fuels are limited, expensive, and unevenly available—while requirements tighten quickly.
Operational Strain
Poor planning leads to non-compliance penalties, rushed fuel decisions, and disputes between ops, chartering, and sustainability teams.
Integrated Playbook
A single operator playbook: fuel strategy + voyage accounting + reporting-grade evidence.
Reality Check
Alternative fuels can significantly cut lifecycle emissions, but supply constraints and price volatility mean compliance must be planned with commercial discipline—not assumptions.
Where Operators Get Exposed
Fuel Choices
Availability, pricing, and compatibility with engines
Voyage Accounting
Which legs count and how energy is allocated
Data Quality
Fuel origin, lifecycle values, and verifier scrutiny
