FuelEU Maritime: Compliance, Challenges & Strategic Opportunities

Webinar Overview

This webinar examined FuelEU Maritime — the EU regulation that sets limits on the greenhouse gas intensity of the energy used on board ships calling at EU/EEA ports. The session combined a legal and public-policy perspective with practical compliance guidance, helping shipowners, managers, and operators move from understanding their obligations to building a strategy that turns compliance into opportunity.
