Maritime Decarbonisation & GFI Compliance

Navigating IMO’s Greenhouse Gas Fuel Intensity (GFI) Framework

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) is implementing a global Greenhouse Gas Fuel Intensity (GFI) framework requiring ships to reduce lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions from marine fuels on a well-to-wake basis.

Trans Cert provides independent assurance, verification, and compliance architecture to help:

  • Marine fuel producers

  • Bunker suppliers

  • Shipping companies

meet evolving IMO GFI requirements with confidence.

Why Maritime GFI Compliance Matters

Shipping companies and fuel suppliers must now demonstrate:

  • Lifecycle GHG intensity (well-to-wake) calculations

  • Methane slip impact assessment

  • Renewable fuel sustainability proof

  • Mass balance traceability

  • Verified emission factors

  • Annual compliance reporting

Consequences of Non-Compliance

Failure to comply may result in:

  • Financial penalties

  • Restricted market access

  • Reputational exposure

  • Loss of competitiveness in EU and global routes
