Our advisory
Independent judgement on the decisions that matter most
We engage where decisions are complex, commercially material or hard to reverse, providing independent judgement on what should be done, why, and under what conditions.

// Within Energy & Transition
Regulatory exposure, translated into commercial impact
We model how the schemes reshaping shipping translate into cost and rating risk for each vessel, and what realized reductions are worth.
EU ETS
EU Emissions Trading System
Allowances surrendered for a rising share of CO₂ on in-scope voyages. The EU scheme is live, the UK follows, and others are coming. We quantify the exposure, advise on managing and recovering it, and support EUA purchase and transactions on your behalf.
FuelEU
FuelEU Maritime
Progressive GHG-intensity limits, with surplus / deficit and pooling strategy modelled per vessel. We advise on the compliance route, from fuel choice to pooling, banking and borrowing, and support surplus purchase through BetterSea.
CII
Carbon Intensity Indicator
Annual A–E rating, tightening each year. We forecast trajectory, flag rating risk, and assess how to comply, from operational measures to technology and retrofit options.
IMO GFI
GHG Fuel Intensity
Annual A–E rating, tightening each year. We forecast trajectory, flag rating risk, and assess how to comply, from operational measures to technology and retrofit options.
