Compliance & Emissions Module

Smart Marketplace

One marketplace for FuelEU and EUAs — pool, bank, borrow, trade, and settle in a single workflow.

Smart Marketplace is the commercial engine of maritime compliance — a single marketplace covering both of the EU's tradable compliance instruments: FuelEU Maritime compliance balances and EU ETS allowances (EUAs). Where operators once needed separate tools, brokers, and spreadsheets to manage pooling, banking, borrowing, and allowance settlement, Smart Marketplace brings the full lifecycle of both instruments into one auditable platform. On the FuelEU side, the platform manages each vessel's compliance balance under Regulation (EU) 2023/1805, calculating well-to-wake greenhouse gas intensity against annual reduction targets and quantifying every vessel's surplus or deficit. Its pooling marketplace lets operators find, negotiate, and settle pools — internally across their own fleets or externally with verified counterparties — while banking and borrowing tools carry surplus forward or advance compliance from future periods where the regulation allows. On the EU ETS side, Smart Marketplace manages the complete EUA lifecycle: voyage-level exposure calculation with the correct geographic scoping rules, carbon market intelligence across ICE, EEX, and OTC venues, procurement and hedging strategy tools, charterparty carbon cost allocation aligned with BIMCO ETS clauses, and Union Registry surrender workflows built around the annual deadlines. Every calculation in Smart Marketplace follows EMSA and European Commission guidance, and verified emissions data flows in directly from Smart EMRV — so the compliance positions you trade on are the same ones you report. The result is a marketplace where compliance strategy, market execution, and regulatory settlement finally live in one place.

Key Capabilities

FuelEU Compliance Balance Management

Automatically computes each vessel's FuelEU Maritime compliance balance from well-to-wake greenhouse gas intensity, applying the regulation's emission factors for over 30 fuel pathways including conventional fuels, LNG, bio-LNG, e-methanol, and RFNBO hydrogen. Vessels are ranked by surplus or deficit, giving operators an always-current view of the fleet's tradable compliance position.

FuelEU Pooling Marketplace

Find, negotiate, and settle FuelEU pools in one place. The marketplace matches compliance deficits with verified surplus counterparties, simulates pooling scenarios across internal fleets and external partners, and structures the commercial terms of each pool — factoring in surplus pricing, contractual conditions, and counterparty standing before anything is committed.

Banking & Borrowing Management

Carry compliance surplus forward to future reporting periods or borrow from the next period where the regulation permits, with the platform tracking every banked and borrowed unit against its regulatory limits. Scenario tools quantify when banking beats pooling — and when borrowing costs more than it saves — so each period closes with the cheapest compliant position available.

EUA Trading & Settlement Workflow

Manages the complete EU Allowance lifecycle from voyage-level exposure calculation through procurement to Union Registry surrender. The engine applies the correct coverage rules for intra-EU, incoming, and outgoing voyages, matches procured allowances against verified emissions, and executes the annual surrender timeline with automated reconciliation checks well before the deadline.

Carbon Market Intelligence

Real-time EUA price monitoring with historical trend analysis, futures curve visualization, and AI-driven price forecasting aggregated from ICE, EEX, and OTC markets. Configurable price alerts and procurement timing recommendations help treasury teams lock in favorable rates and smooth carbon budget exposure across reporting periods.

EMSA & EC Guidance-Aligned Calculations

Every compliance balance, pooling outcome, and allowance obligation is calculated in line with EMSA and European Commission guidance, with a full audit trail from raw voyage data to final settlement. Charterparty carbon cost allocation supports BIMCO ETS clauses and custom methodologies, producing transparent statements for owners, operators, and charterers.

Two instruments, one marketplace

FuelEU compliance balances and EU allowances, side by side

FuelEU Maritime and the EU ETS are separate regulations with separate units, deadlines, and markets — but the decisions they drive are one commercial strategy. Smart Marketplace is the only place both instruments trade in the same workflow, on the same verified emissions data from Smart EMRV.

FuelEU Maritime

Pooling · Banking · Borrowing

Manage every vessel's compliance balance under Regulation (EU) 2023/1805 and turn surplus and deficit into strategy — pool with verified counterparties, bank forward, or borrow within the regulation's limits.

  • Compliance balance per vessel, always current
  • Pool internally or with verified counterparties
  • Bank surplus forward, borrow within regulatory limits
  • Penalty exposure priced before every decision

EU ETS Allowances

Trading · Settlement

Run the complete EUA lifecycle — exposure calculation, market-informed procurement, charterparty cost allocation aligned with BIMCO clauses, and Union Registry surrender — against the same verified emissions record you report.

  • Voyage-level EUA exposure with correct geographic scoping
  • Live market intelligence across ICE, EEX, and OTC
  • Procurement and hedging strategy tools
  • Union Registry surrender executed on deadline

All calculations follow EMSA and European Commission guidance, with a full audit trail from verified voyage data to final settlement.

How It Works

1

Ingest Verified Compliance Data

Smart Marketplace receives verified emissions and fuel data directly from Smart EMRV, computing each vessel's FuelEU compliance balance and EU ETS allowance exposure in real time. The positions you trade on are always the positions you report.

2

See Your Tradable Position

A unified dashboard shows the fleet's aggregate FuelEU surplus or deficit alongside its outstanding EUA obligation, priced at live market rates. Scenario tools compare the cost of pooling, banking, borrowing, penalty payment, and allowance procurement for every period.

3

Pool, Trade & Hedge

Execute the chosen strategy through the marketplace: match with pooling counterparties and negotiate terms, bank or borrow compliance units, and run EUA procurement against market intelligence and hedging models — all with structured approval workflows and counterparty verification.

4

Settle & Close the Period

The platform performs final reconciliation between verified emissions, pooled balances, and procured allowances, generates surrender instructions for the Union Registry, files FuelEU compliance documentation, and produces post-period analytics comparing actual compliance costs against budget.
