Third-party ship management company V.Ships has adopted OceanScore’s Compliance Manager to address the growing complexities of European Union environmental regulations.
The partnership enables V.Ships to manage compliance with EU ETS and FuelEU Maritime – through the streamlining of all processes, intuitive workflows and calls to action, and automated invoicing – ensuring high standards of transparency and operation across its global fleet.
According to OceanSCore, the introduction of EU ETS (Emissions Trading System) and FuelEU Maritime regulations has further complicated the compliance requirements for shipping companies, creating new layers of complexity that require specialised expertise and strategic long-term planning. For V.Ships, which manages diverse fleets for owners, these regulatory changes presented both challenges and opportunities to demonstrate industry leadership.
James Helliwell, commercial director, V.Ships, said: “As a leading, global third-party ship manager, we at V.Ships work with a wide range of owners across different segments. EU ETS and FuelEU Maritime have added substantial complexity to our role – and we are happy to work with OceanScore to help us navigate these challenges.”
OceanScore’s Compliance Manager has emerged as a critical solution in V.Ships’ compliance strategy, providing the technological infrastructure and expertise needed to manage evolving regulatory requirements in what is said to be an automated, efficient, and transparent way. The platform enables V.Ships to automate compliance tracking across its global fleet, streamline invoice management workflows for both EU ETS and FuelEU Maritime, and provide real-time transparency on compliance balances and exposure – all through API-based data flows that eliminate manual processes and reduce errors.
The collaboration between V.Ships and OceanScore extends beyond software implementation to encompass service support and access to regulatory knowledge. This holistic approach has proven invaluable as V.Ships continues to serve its diverse client base while staying ahead of regulatory developments.
Managing compliance across large-scale fleet operations requires both efficiency and transparency – qualities that are seen as essential to V.Ships’ service delivery model. The scale of V.Ships’ operations demands solutions that can provide real-time visibility and streamlined processes without compromising service quality.
