EU ETS Maritime Compliance: Monitor Emissions, Track EUAs, Avoid Penalties
As of January 1, 2024, maritime shipping has been brought under the European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS). All vessels ≥5000 GT must monitor their verified CO₂ emissions and surrender corresponding emission allowances (EUAs). The EU ETS introduces a direct cost for every tonne of CO₂ emitted, with steep penalties for non-compliance. Managing this system effectively is both a regulatory necessity and a financial imperative.
Our Role in Your Operation
- Automatically calculates voyage-based CO₂ emissions using MRV-aligned data
- Real-time dashboard showing EUA needs per vessel, per period, and per voyage
- Tracks purchased, used, and remaining allowances with full audit trail
- Alerts for EUA deficits, overspending, and deadlines
- Simulates financial impact of routing decisions or EUA price changes
Why It Matters
EU ETS is not a back-office formality, it has direct financial consequences. One missing allowance can mean €100 per excess tonne of CO₂ and public disclosure of non-compliance. With EUA prices fluctuating and voyage emissions varying by weather, speed, and route, poor planning can quickly become expensive.
Proseadure simplifies ETS compliance with full automation and operational context. You’ll know in advance how many EUAs each voyage requires, what your compliance balance looks like, and what it costs. You can model alternative voyages to reduce EUA needs or preempt shortages. This transforms ETS from a burden into a performance lever without spreadsheets or added staff.
