FuelEU Maritime compliance pooling solution Ahti Pool has formed a strategic partnership with ScanOcean to deliver a dedicated FuelEU Maritime pooling service (known as ‘pool-in-pool’) to ScanOcean’s customers, enabling shipowners to use their own biofuel consumption to meet FuelEU compliance obligations while still accessing the wider Ahti Pool for additional flexibility.
Designed for FuelEU Maritime, Ahti Pool manages fleets from various owners and operators – including Van Weelde Group, Bore, Spliethoff, Stenersen and Neste – and oversees more than €100m of emissions exposure. Through the collaboration, ScanOcean will market and sell a turnkey FuelEU Maritime pooling service to shipowners, combining Ahti’s scale, technical pooling experience, and proven cost-optimisation tools with ScanOcean’s recognised logistics network, offtake agreements with leading refiners, and reputation for seamless bunkering operations in the Nordic area.
Risto Juhani Kariranta, CEO, Ahti Pool, said, “We are pleased to partner with ScanOcean to expand Ahti Pool’s capability to serve owners seeking fleet level compliance and cost certainty. The pool in pool approach complements our turnkey model, enhances optimisation at scale, and strengthens our ability to help shipowners reduce their emissions as well as materially lowering their risk exposure.”
Lars Lövsund, Business Development Manager, ScanOcean, added, “Our pool in pool solution, together with Ahti’s proven pooling platform, gives shipowners the transparency and flexibility required to manage renewable fuel allocation and regulatory compliance efficiently. This partnership turns FuelEU Maritime’s complexity into a strategic advantage for fleet owners in Ahti Pool.”
