OceanScore and Anglo-Eastern strengthen EU ETS and FuelEU Maritime compliance efforts

OceanScore and Anglo-Eastern Univan Group are working together to support compliance with the European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) and FuelEU Maritime regulations.

The cooperation began in mid-2025 as Anglo-Eastern prepared for the phased introduction of new decarbonization requirements.

The companies are focusing on data management, cost allocation and regulatory reporting across vessels under Anglo-Eastern’s management.

EU ETS and FuelEU Maritime have increased compliance requirements for ship managers, especially those overseeing vessels with different ownership structures and charter arrangements.

To address these challenges, Anglo-Eastern adopted OceanScore’s Compliance Manager platform.

The system supports SHIPMAN-aligned cost allocation, charter party interpretation, invoicing, verification tracking and emissions monitoring through a single platform.

“EU ETS compliance involves more than emissions calculations alone,” said Torbjorn Dimblad, Chief Information Officer at Anglo-Eastern.

“Our objective was to put in place processes that are consistent, transparent and scalable across fleets and stakeholders.”

The companies are also addressing challenges faced by shipping businesses operating outside Europe.

OceanScore supports customers through teams in Europe and Asia, including offices in Singapore and Japan. The company helps align regulatory requirements with commercial and operational decision-making.

“Time zones, chartering practices and commercial structures all influence how compliance is managed in practice,” said Leo Grayson, Head of APAC at OceanScore.

“Our role is to support clients in navigating those practical interfaces between regulation and operations.”

Both companies highlighted the importance of transparency and clear workflows as environmental regulations continue to evolve.

“Having defined processes and reliable data flows is essential when managing compliance across large and varied fleets,” said Albrecht Grell, Managing Director of OceanScore.

“The collaboration with Anglo-Eastern has focused on implementation discipline as much as regulatory interpretation.”

Since onboarding started in June 2025, the project has focused on system configuration, data integration and process alignment across multiple teams.

“As implementation progressed, access to specialist support and the ability to resolve issues across time zones has been important,” said Capt. Mrugeshkumar Balasubramanian, Carbon Services Manager at Anglo-Eastern.

The partners are now working on additional forecasting tools and system integrations.

They aim to support future compliance requirements as the EU ETS expands and new schemes, including the UK ETS, come into force.
