On the 29 January, our Decarbonisation Manager, Maria Angeles Lopez Castejón, represented Peninsula at the Lloyd’s Register Spanish Technical Committee, joining a panel dedicated to the impact of FuelEU Maritime on the future of our industry.
Alongside experts from Repsol and ANAVE, Maria Angeles explored how FuelEU is reshaping the maritime value chain, and how Peninsula’s dual role as charterer and leading global marine fuel supplier uniquely positions us to support customers through this transition.
Key insights:
Market perspective – shipowners
María Ángeles noted that shipowners face the greatest long‑term challenge as they navigate investment decisions amid regulatory evolution and technological uncertainty. Understanding these pressures enables Peninsula to better support customers with practical, future‑proof solutions.
As a charterer:
FuelEU introduces new operational and contractual complexities: data transparency, correct allocation of compliance costs and cross‑party alignment. Peninsula is actively preparing for this by strengthening data systems, refining internal governance and developing clear frameworks to ensure compliant, efficient operations across our chartered fleet.
As a marine fuel supplier:
This is where Peninsula’s strongest opportunity and responsibility lie.
FuelEU accelerates demand for compliant fuels, traceability, certification and integrated decarbonisation services — all areas where Peninsula is already investing and scaling.
Our global footprint, technical depth and reliable operational model enable us to deliver end‑to‑end solutions, not just product supply.
María Ángeles also addressed the role of FuelEU’s flexibility mechanisms — such as pooling, banking and borrowing — noting that while conceptually simple, they require robust data, coordination and governance. Peninsula is focused on ensuring our digital readiness and compliance expertise position us as a trusted partner for customers navigating these mechanisms.
At Peninsula, we remain committed to driving practical, scalable decarbonisation solutions that help our customers operate efficiently and compliantly in a rapidly evolving regulatory landscape
