Compliance Cost Calculator
-
The Compliance Cost Calculator determines the financial impact of regulations on a vessel’s operations, in particular FuelEU and EU ETS. It calculates compliance costs under business-as-usual conditions and allows for scenario-based assessments of different mitigation strategies, such as switching to alternative fuels, using shore power, or implementing wind-assisted propulsion. This tool helps shipowners, operators, charterers and fleet managers understand their regulatory exposure, quantify penalties, and explore a some cost-saving strategies to maintain compliance while optimizing operational expenses.The Compliance Cost Calculator also enables a scenario-based comparison, allowing users to evaluate different compliance pathways. It dynamically incorporates decarbonization targets, emission factors, and fuel consumption data, giving a tailored cost breakdown for 2 scenarios. A report of your analysis can be exported and shared, supporting C-level decision-making, investment strategies, and regulatory reporting. You can use the tool for …
Risk & exposure analysis – Identify cost risks associated with regulatory (non-)compliance and determine the best strategies to reduce financial penalties.
Regulatory compliance assessment – Determine the cost implications of EU ETS and FuelEU Maritime penalties and identify cost-saving strategies.
Investment case report – Create a structured analysis to present cost scenarios and regulatory impacts for 2 ships to decision-makers.
