FuelEU Maritime: Securing the pathways for compliance

The FuelEU Maritime regulation brings significant challenges and uncertainties, particularly regarding compliance responsibilities. It is crucial for shipowners, charterers and ship managers to initiate discussions as early as possible—but what exactly should they be aware of?

In our upcoming webinar, James Shiller, Global Lead of New Fuels, will be joined by Nick Walker, Partner at Watson Farley & Williams, and Carl Wilhelm Lindahl, Maritime Contracts Manager - Contracts & Clauses Department from BIMCO.

SESSION 2 (4.00-5.00 PM) - SIGN UP HERE

Time zone: Denmark (UTC +2)

 

To strengthen your understanding, we will discuss these key topics:

  • Handling a Surplus – What is it, who owns it, how could it be valued, and how it should be structured in agreements
  • Managing a Deficit – How liabilities are assigned and mitigated
  • Compliance Mechanisms – Banking, borrowing, pooling, and the role of low-GHG intensity fuels
  • The Penalty and Multiplier Effect – Financial implications and risks
  • The Shipman Clause and New Financial Flows – Impact on relationships between owners, charterers, and managers 
  • Possible Amendments/Additions – How the clause may evolve based on market developments 

 

The webinar is for:

  • Key commercial decision makers
  • Those responsible for charter party agreements 

 

Join us and spend 1 hour of your time on the FuelEU Maritime, its risks, market uncertainties, and how the BIMCO Clause helps address these challenges.
