NAPA, a leading provider of maritime software and data services, has today signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Ahti Climate, a pioneer in FuelEU Maritime pooling services that has more than 250 vessels under management. The partnership will provide NAPA’s existing and future customers with integrated access to Ahti Pool, a simple and cost-effective solution for achieving FuelEU Maritime compliance.
Under the MoU, NAPA’s digital solutions will be enhanced with Ahti Pool’s active pool management services, enabling NAPA customers to access their pool balance directly through the NAPA Fleet Intelligence platform, via the NAPA FuelEU Maritime module. Launched by NAPA in the autumn 2024, following a successful pilot involving 1,500 vessels in collaboration with ClassNK, the module has already proven its value in streamlining compliance processes. Partnership with Ahti Climate will further enable quick, frictionless compliance for NAPA customers while also reducing their FuelEU operational and administrative costs.
Ossi Mettälä, Product Manager, NAPA Shipping Solutions, commented, “NAPA is committed to providing innovative and efficient solutions that support the decarbonisation of the shipping industry. This partnership with Ahti Climate strengthens our commitment by providing customers with an efficient compliance solution for meeting FuelEU Maritime regulations – one that is trusted by major shipowners and ship managers.”
Risto Kariranta, Ahti Pool’s CEO, commented, “We are excited to be gaining NAPA as a partner. Just like NAPA, Ahti Pool is working towards a world with smarter, safer and more sustainable shipping. This agreement will enable more than a thousand ships using NAPA Fleet Intelligence to fulfil their FuelEU Maritime obligations quickly and cost-effectively.”
In November 2024, Ahti and NAPA recorded a FuelEU Maritime webinar which unpacked the regulation’s impact on shipowners and charterers, and provides expert analysis on the most effective compliance, fuel, and operational techniques.
