Shipowners operating in EEA waters are now subject to two overlapping carbon regulations simultaneously — FuelEU Maritime and EU ETS. Managing them separately means paying twice: once in fees, once in missed optimisation. I founded AV Carbon to fill a gap I saw clearly from years in physical commodity trading and biofuels compliance: most independent maritime operators have no dedicated carbon compliance resource, and the large consultancies aren't built for fleets of 3 to 20 vessels. My background spans three years on the naphtha desk at TotalEnergies Trading (Geneva) and three years in biofuels trading operations at STX Commodities (Amsterdam), where I bridged trading operations discipline and deep regulatory knowledge day to day. This combination is what I bring to every engagement. At AV Carbon, I help shipowners across France, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Italy understand their combined FuelEU and ETS exposure, build a coherent compliance strategy, and avoid the penalties that come from treating these two frameworks as separate problems. If you operate a fleet and want to know where you stand on FuelEU and EU ETS, I deliver a Carbon Compliance Snapshot — integrated analysis for your fleet, delivered in 48 hours. → [email protected] | avcarbon.com
