About
Partnering with experienced sustainability experts
We empower organizations in the maritime sector to take climate action by offering sustainable biofuels, services, and products to help them drastically reduce the carbon emissions of their fleets and help them hit their climate targets. As more businesses look to reduce their transportation and distribution emissions and implement supplier quality requirements, sustainable shipping businesses also gain a competitive advantage.
Our solutions for the maritime sector include providing:
1. Sustainable biofuels specific to your business needs, including ISCC-certified biofuels. Biofuels can reduce a vessel’s CO₂ emissions by up to 90%, lowering the number of Emission Allowances (EUAs) you need to purchase to achieve compliance.
2. EUAs for shipowners and operators via our in-house MiFID-II licensed investment firm ACT Financial Solutions. Our European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) experts can help you navigate allowance markets so that you can meet regulatory requirements in a timely and cost-effective way.
3. Full-service bunkering in ports throughout the ARA region.
4. High-quality carbon credits for clients who want to take further climate action by neutralizing their residual emissions while supporting meaningful, sustainable development initiatives all over the world.
Hit Your Regulatory Targets
Hit your regulatory targets
Significant measures are being introduced to decarbonize the maritime industry and progress towards net zero, such as the European Union’s expansion of the EU ETS to cover international shipping and the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) regulation. To meet EU ETS regulations, maritime shipping companies will have to purchase European Emission Allowances (EUAs) or face consequences. ACT Financial Solutions, ACT's in-house MiFID-II licensed investment firm, is dedicated to ensuring you meet your new EU ETS obligations and explore the most suitable compliance strategies. They have the market experience and expertise to offer you the needed support in the procurement of EUAs and hit compliance targets efficiently and cost-effectively.
