FuelEU Pool Tool
-
The FuelEU Pool Tool enables shipowners and operators to evaluate the compliance and financial impacts of pooling vessels under the FuelEU Maritime Regulation. By combining the performance of multiple ships, the tool calculates pooled GHG intensity and determines whether the collective meets regulatory thresholds, helping to balance over- and under-performing assets.
Users can compare pooled versus individual compliance outcomes, estimate potential penalty reductions, and explore how fleet composition affects regulatory exposure. The tool supports scenario modeling and strategic planning by linking vessel performance to FuelEU cost implications.
Designed for fleet managers, technical teams, and compliance officers, the tool simplifies pooling analysis and generates structured outputs to support internal decisions, commercial planning, and regulatory engagement.
Cross-vessel compliance balancing – Offset high-emission vessels with low-emission performers within the same FuelEU pool.
Penalty cost modeling – Estimate total FuelEU penalties (or savings) under both pooled and individual compliance scenarios.
Strategic pooling composition – Test the effects of adding or removing vessels from the pool to reach regulatory targets more efficiently.

Access premium tool and benefits
This Excel allows you to compare up to 10 ships to optimize your pooing strategy for FuelEU. It allows for different fuel options and blending settings, comparing fuel costs, EU ETS and FuelEU penalties after pooling. If needed, you can adjust the sheet to allow for 1,000 ships! The Excel includes a tutorial and the link to our FuelEU guide for free download, in addition to our free to use helpdesk for support. This purchase allows you to store your calculations, work offline anywhere plus compare different ship types and scenarios.
