Fleet CO₂ Intensity, CII & EU ETS Cost-Exposure Analysis — Public MRV Data

Public EU MRV data · Vessel-level intelligence

We put a number on your fleet's carbon inefficiency.

From verified public EU MRV submissions we quantify three compounding cost drivers per vessel — the running fuel-efficiency gap, CII charter-rate exposure, and EU ETS procurement savings. Every figure comes back with a vessel name, a cause, and a recommended action.

EU ETS procurement saving ahead of the Sep-2026 surrender — no operational change required

Total quantified opportunity ≈ $1,182,351 per year.  Anonymized worked example below (real fleet, identities removed).

The method — no input required from your side

1 · Verified MRV data

We pull each vessel's verified EU MRV submission at vessel level — actual operating CO₂/nm, ETS-scope CO₂ and multi-year history. Public source; nothing to send us.

2 · Peer benchmarking

We place every ship against its type cohort (percentile) and the within-fleet median — observed difference, no cap applied, full gap shown.

3 · Three cost drivers

Fuel-efficiency gap ($), CII charter-rate exposure ($) and EU ETS procurement saving (€) — each attributed to a specific vessel with an action attached.

Peer band is a derived percentile of CO₂ intensity within the ship-type cohort — a commercial proxy, not an IMO CII rating or regulatory penalty. Figures are indicative; procurement and charter-rate values use documented market assumptions (e.g. 10% EUA forward-premium, Supramax Baltic base).

A worked example: one 7-vessel bulker fleet

All figures from a single analyzed fleet; vessels relabeled A–G. Fleet median CO₂/nm for the type = 275.

Fuel-efficiency gap — operating CO₂/nm vs within-fleet median

Vessel B

Vessel C

Vessel D

Vessel E

Vessel F

Vessel G

Gap priced at a VLSFO bunker cost vs within-fleet median for the ship type (observed difference, no cap). Fleet fuel-efficiency gap: $657,428/yr. Two vessels carry most of it.

Self-serve · no input required for the first brief

Get your fleet's brief.

We run your company through the same MRV pipeline and return a 1-page brief: fuel-efficiency gap, CII charter-rate exposure and EU ETS procurement saving — each with a vessel name, cause and action. Send us your company (and any IMOs you'd like included); we'll build yours.

No operational data required for the initial brief — reconstructed from verified public EU MRV submissions.

Frequently asked questions

How is a vessel's CO₂ intensity calculated from MRV data?

We take each vessel's verified EU MRV submission (CO₂ per nautical mile) and benchmark it against the peer cohort for its ship type, using the within-fleet median as reference. The gap is expressed in kg CO₂/nm and priced at a VLSFO bunker cost.

Is this an official CII rating?

No. Our peer band is a derived percentile of CO₂ intensity within the ship-type cohort — a commercial proxy, not an IMO CII result or regulatory penalty.

What does EU ETS procurement actually save, and when is it due?

Forward-purchasing EUAs ahead of the surrender deadline saves against buying at spot. For 2025 in-scope emissions a portion (70% phase-in) is due by 30 September 2026; full coverage applies from 2026. The saving requires no operational change.

Do I need to provide any data?

No input is required for the initial brief — we reconstruct it from verified public EU MRV submissions at vessel level.

What's included in an expanded brief?

Main-engine performance vs ISO baseline, hull roughness over time, fuel cost per routing decision, bunker procurement efficiency, port idle/demurrage & dispatch, and fully-loaded cost per trade lane — each with a cause and recommended action.

Figures are indicative. Charter-rate sensitivity uses 2.5% × Supramax Baltic base on assumed laden days; ETS procurement at an indicative forward-premium assumption; fuel gap vs within-fleet median (no cap). Peer band = derived percentile proxy, not IMO CII.
