Ahti Pool’s vessels under management reach 200 after the deal with Van Weelde Shipping Group. AHTI Climate has reported that Van Weelde Shipping Group, the owners of the dry cargo fleet managed by Orient Shipping Rotterdam (OSR), has signed a letter of intent (LOI) to join Ahti Pool, a groundbreaking FuelEU Maritime (FEM) compliance solution.
The news came to light with a social media post in LinkedIn by Ahti – a provider of emissions compliance solutions, mentioning that Van Weelde “will benefit greatly from joining Ahti Pool.”
Ahti claims that its proprietary service, Ahti Pool, is the world’s first FuelEU Maritime compliance pool.
It all began with a single spark of inspiration ignited by the FuelEU Maritime regulation.
AHTI Climate has launched what it says is the world’s first public FuelEU Maritime compliance pool, which provides an easy, cost-effective way to comply with the FuelEU Maritime regulation.
Ahti said in its statement released on Thursday that by “joining Ahti Pool a ship efficiently shares the compliance burden with other pool members, including over-compliant ships, and collectively benefits from the pool’s economies of scale.”
The company led-by CEO Risto-Juhani Kariranta reported that it received a major funding from Business Finland, the Finnish government organisation for innovation funding and trade, travel and investment promotion, by competing against hundreds of other startups.
Risto Kariranta, CEO of Ahti Climate, commented: “We’re excited to welcome OSR to Ahti Pool. Our fully neutral solution isn’t tied to any compliance options, and this flexibility enables us to transparently reduce our clients’ FEM compliance costs for each of their ships’ unique trading patterns. We’re confident that Van Weelde will benefit greatly from joining Ahti Pool.”
