Avin International Boosts FuelEU Compliance with Ahti Pool | Mariner News
Greek tanker firm Avin International has significantly advanced its environmental commitment by joining the Ahti FuelEU Compliance Pool. This strategic move integrates Avin’s fleet of approximately 35 oil and chemical tankers into a structured mechanism designed to navigate the new FuelEU Maritime regulation. Effective from 2025, this regulation mandates progressively tougher greenhouse gas (GHG) intensity targets for marine energy consumption, making proactive compliance crucial.
Boosting Sustainability and Decarbonisation
Avin International is already a leader in sustainability, investing in energy-saving technologies and future-ready vessels like ammonia-ready tonnage. Joining the Ahti pool significantly complements these efforts, providing a market-aligned system that strengthens Avin’s decarbonisation initiatives. This partnership enhances operational flexibility and ensures strict adherence as the FuelEU Maritime regulation enters its critical initial compliance years. The innovative pooling mechanism also allows for trading over-compliance credits, offering a practical solution for meeting environmental obligations effectively.
Navigating Emissions Management Costs
Effective emissions management under FuelEU Maritime carries financial implications. Current estimates place the cost of purchasing overcompliance in this system at approximately EUR 222 per metric ton of CO2 equivalent. By strategically joining the Ahti FuelEU Compliance Pool, Avin International demonstrates a commitment to both environmental stewardship and economically sound compliance strategies, setting a strong precedent for other maritime operators seeking long-term sustainability.
