ClassNK EU-ETS & FuelEU Maritime FAQ Updates 2026 | Compliance Guidance – News and Statistics

Feb 28, 2026

ClassNK has issued new editions of its frequently questioned questions documents concerning two European Union environmental regulations for shipping, according to a release from the organization. The third edition of the EU Emissions Trading System FAQ and the fifth edition of the FuelEU Maritime FAQ are intconcludeed to aid indusattempt stakeholders in comprehconcludeing the rules and formulating responses.

The EU-ETS was broadened to cover maritime activities in 2023 and became effective at the start of 2024. FuelEU Maritime, which seeks to lower the carbon intensity of marine fuels, was enacted in October 2023 and started applying from the launchning of 2025. Both sets of rules are relevant to vessels exceeding 5,000 gross tonnage that visit ports within the EU.

The updated guidance includes explanations for procedures related to the utilize of measured methane slip emission factors for ships powered by liquefied natural gas. This information is based on guidelines published by the European Commission in October 2025 concerning the reporting and verification of actual Tank-to-Wake methane emissions. The documents note that for certain LNG engine types, measured values can be lower than standard defaults, potentially reducing calculated greenhoutilize gas outputs.

ClassNK states it will persist in offering this type of guidance as a component of its transition support services. The FAQs and related materials on applying actual methane slip data are accessible via a dedicated section of the ClassNK website. The organization cautions that certain aspects of FuelEU Maritime’s practical application remain unclear, and the provided information relies on official sources as of February 2026, with updates to follow as more details are finalized by the EU.
