Join the LSLC and Quadrant Chambers on the 19th March where our panel will outline the Regulation, explain how pooling can work, and discuss the prospects for contractual disputes.

Some of the issues for discussion:

• The FuelEU clauses for time charterers (e.g. BIMCO)
• The FuelEU Maritime Regulation framework – its objectives, GHG intensity targets, compliance mechanisms (including pooling, banking and borrowing), and penalty regime.
• Its relationship with the Renewable Energy Directive – how sustainability criteria, certification requirements, and renewable fuel classifications interact with FuelEU obligations.
• The relevant compliance entities – including the ISM company, owners, charterers, fuel suppliers, and verifiers, and how regulatory responsibility is allocated.
• The contractual impact – how FuelEU affects charterparty risk allocation, compliance balances, penalties, data sharing, and potential disputes between commercial parties.
• The commercial overview of pooling contracts and the pricing of surplus
