Regulatory readiness
Cargo Nexus tracks and operationalises the full landscape of maritime decarbonisation regulation, including:
- IMO 2030 / 2050 GHG Strategy: fleet-level emissions intensity tracking and reduction pathways.
- EU Emissions Trading System (ETS): extended to maritime from 2024, requiring allowance procurement and verified reporting.
- EU FuelEU Maritime: well-to-wake GHG intensity limits from 2025.
- CII (Carbon Intensity Indicator): annual rating and corrective action planning.
- EEXI (Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index): engine and design measures to meet thresholds.
- MARPOL Annex VI: sulphur, NOx and air emission compliance.
Operational decarbonisation
Compliance is the floor: Cargo Nexus seeks measurable emissions reduction across every voyage, through:
- Voyage optimisation and just-in-time arrival
- Hull and propeller performance monitoring
- Energy efficiency technologies and retrofits
- Alternative fuels readiness: methanol, ammonia and bio-blends
- Crew engagement and energy-conscious operating practices
Beyond emissions
Sustainability for Cargo Nexus also means protecting the marine environment from operational pollution, supporting seafarer wellbeing, and operating with the highest standards of governance, transparency and ethical conduct.
