About AHTI PoOL
Getting a head-ache searching for biodiesel supplies or guessing which alternative fuel to go for? Ahti Pool can do the work for you.
Pooling compliance is an effective way to ensure that your fleet complies with FuelEU Maritime regulations.
By using ultra-low-carbon fuels, such as e-methanol or bio-LNG, on selected vessels and then pooling the compliance for the rest of the fleet, you can save costs.
This approach is simple, yet powerful, and allows you to focus on FuelEU Maritime actions wherever they are most easy and cost-effective.
Don't know how to comply with FuelEU Maritime regulations?
FuelEU Maritime requires compliance from ships in order to reduce carbon emissions. One option to comply is to pay the penalties, but it would be more cost-effective to comply with the regulations.
Utilizing pools can help in achieving compliance, especially when it comes to using biodiesel, which has limited availability and high prices. By using pools, the risk of high prices can be mitigated, and compliance can be focused on the vessels that are most effective and easy to comply with.
Pools can also function as a marketplace for fuel, which allows members to buy and sell compliance, hence reducing costs and maximizing the benefits from low carbon ship assets.
BASED ON THE REGULATION VESSELS CAN BE
Overcompliant - Lower carbon intensity than required
- Alternative fuels are more costly and jeopardize profitability and lower competitive advantage through higher energy costs
- Surplus compliance can be banked for future use, or pooled.
- No penalties
Compliant - Yearly carbon intensity level meets regulation
- Optimized use of alternative fuels leads to better profitability
- No penalties
Undercompliant - Too high carbon intensity
- Using too carbon-intensive fuels every year
- Penalties to be paid or borrowed from the future, with additional interest
POOLING IN PRACTICE
Pool
- A pool can be made up of any vessel that complies with the FuelEU Maritime regulation, without any restrictions on vessel type or ownership
- Charterers who have vessels under long-term TC, for example, can place their ships in a pool if agreed with the shipowners
- Pool is valid for one calendar year at a time, and a vessel can belong to only one compliance pool per year
- Pool members can exchange compliance with one another within the same year
- The entire pool must be compliant each year
- Pool members can have different verifiers
