RISK MANAGEMENT

EU ETS in shipping

Are you aware of your maritime emissions emitted per voyage? Do you know your exposure basis current market prices? Are you set up and ready to trade EUAs? Not being prepared for when the EU legislation kicks in will have an impact on your bottom line. There are severe penalties for non-compliance which can lead to an expulsion order from EU ports. The Clarksons Carbon Broking team can help you get prepared and plan accordingly.

Voluntary Offsetting in shipping

An increasing number of companies are purchasing Offsets on a voluntary basis to compensate for the carbon footprint of their operations. Through our commercial partners we can help assess your Scope 1, 2 & 3 emissions and then help to offset these. Our broking team can provide further insight.

EU ETS Compliance

Navigating Challenges Effectively

The Challenge

Earlier this year, one of our tanker clients who regularly trades in and out of Europe knew that their company had exposure to the new EU ETS rules whereby all voyages into, out of and between EU ports need to have a specific amount of the CO2 emitted covered with an EUA. The client was looking at the most direct way to access the market and cover their exposure for calendar 2024 and onwards to avoid EU penalties.

The Solution

Clarksons Carbon team helped the client open an EU Registry Account, perform the necessary internal KYC for the underlying regulated products, assist in external KYC with Liquidity Providers and updated the client with moving prices of the underlying market. Clarksons Carbon helped the client develop an average level of exposure to the market to avoid dramatic volatility swings.

The Results

The client secured access to the OTC EU ETS market, took physical delivery of the EUAs via their spot and forward transactions and averaged their price exposure to the underlying market over the year.
