OceanScore reaches 2,300 contracted vessels, boosted by ETS and Fuel EU requirements

OceanScore has now surpassed 2,300 contracted vessels, a milestone that reflects a growing demand across the maritime sector for compliance solutions that simplify operations, secure full transparency over costs and allocations, and support smarter decisions.

Recent clients include: Anglo-Eastern, Eurotankers, Almi Marine, Eurobulk, Cetus Maritime and Meiji Shipping, a Japan-based operator with a strong focus on efficiency and regulatory compliance across its diversified fleet

Their shared goal? Managing EU ETS and FuelEU Maritime regulations without adding unnecessary complexity, and using OceanScore solutions to make that possible.

“What connects our clients isn’t size or segment, it’s a desire for compliance solutions that actually support the way they work,” said Albrecht Grell, Managing Director at OceanScore. “They’re looking for efficiency, transparency, and better decision-making, and we’ve built our solutions to deliver just that.”

Clients use OceanScore’s solutions to:

- Streamline processes like emissions tracking, workflows, and automated invoicing

- Gain transparency across every level – by vessel, voyage, and between owner and charterer – so all stakeholders have a clear, shared view of compliance performance

- Access transparent pricing and legal structures through the FuelEU Pooling Marketplace

- Forecast and plan with real-time exposure data, giving commercial and technical teams a clear view of what lies ahead

This milestone also means a stronger client network, more pooling options, and increasing data depth, further improving the value clients receive on the platform.

“We're proud to support these companies as they tackle compliance with more clarity and less friction,” Grell added. “This isn’t about growth for its own sake, it’s about solving real problems for shipping companies who want to stay in control.”

Since launching in early June, OceanScore’s FuelEU Pooling Marketplace has already recorded first successful matches, with surplus and deficit positions being shared, deals being signed, and counterparties negotiating directly through the OceanScore-supported structure.

Early users are actively comparing offers, shortlisting preferred providers, and tailoring deals to their needs with pricing, flexibility, and terms all open for negotiation. Some agreements offer fixed volumes, while others allow flexibility until the pooling period begins. Legal frameworks, supported by OceanScore’s contract template, are proving solid, clear, and easy to close.

“We’re seeing encouraging traction. Buyers are acting early to reduce risk, and surplus providers are motivated to move now, creating a dynamic, growing marketplace,” said Grell.

In many cases, pooling currently offers a more cost-effective route to compliance than either purchasing biofuels or facing FuelEU penalties. With verified surplus available and pricing still favourable, early movers are locking in deals now.

OceanScore’s Marketplace is already delivering real economic value, with prices forming a clear curve and surplus prices dropping ~10% through increased transparency.
