Vessel of the Month - November

NOVEMBER

Compliance That Pays Off

With regulatory developments continuing to shape the future of shipping, we’re using this month’s spotlight to explore how regulatory alignment can unlock real business value.

This 2011-built container vessel was assessed by Njord's Technology Screening, revealing a clear opportunity: a potential 14.7% reduction in fuel consumption and over 2,000 MT of CO₂ savings annually through a targeted package of technologies.

What makes the case compelling is how these savings interact with current and upcoming regulations. By improving emissions and operational efficiency, the vessel stands to benefit from:

  1. Nearly 100,000 USD in annual EU ETS savings
  2. Over 24,000 USD in FuelEU Maritime penalty reductions

These regulatory-linked savings bring the return on investment down from 2.6 years to just 1.8 years, showing how smart retrofitting and regulatory insight can accelerate returns and strengthen long-term performance.
