Why Provenship
The calculation and reporting platform. Not a verifier. Not an operations system.
We compute the obligation under FuelEU Maritime, EU ETS shipping, and IMO CII, and produce the report behind it. The verifier signs it; the operations system runs the ship.
€2–3M
At stake per vessel-year
FuelEU + EU ETS combined exposure (spec 08).
$99
Per ship per month, maximum
Sliding to $59 at fleet scale. Not per tonne of CO2.
100%
Honest pricing
No usage meter. No charge that grows with pollution.
Not a verifier
The accredited verifier signs the report. We produce it.
Reg. (EU) 2015/757 Article 11 reserves attestation to accredited verifier bodies. Provenship is verifier-neutral by design — we hand them a defensible pack.
Not a router
The operations platform runs the voyage. We consume the data it generates.
Voyage optimisation and commercial routing are a different category. We do not bid for that work; we plug into it and turn its output into a verifier-ready report.
Not a bunker supplier
We never broker fuel. Conflict of interest by construction.
A platform that earns commission on fuel choice cannot honestly compute the penalty for that choice. We refuse the model.
Comparison
| Vendor | Category | Overlap with Provenship |
|---|
| Accredited verifier services | Accredited verifier | Value comparison only. We compute the report; they accredit and sign it. Provenship is not pursuing accreditation in v1 or v2. |
| Vessel-rating platforms | Maritime emissions SaaS | Direct reference category. Provenship differentiates on reconciliation discipline (every number traceable to the regulation table) and on a tighter scope (we refuse what we cannot ground in a citation). |
| Voyage / chartering platforms | Maritime operations system | Not overlapping. They own the voyage and the commercial cycle; we consume the voyage and BDN data and compute the regulatory obligation. |
| In-house spreadsheets | Most operators today | The honest competitor. Provenship’s pitch vs. a spreadsheet is reproducibility, citation provenance, and the ability to hand the verifier a defensible PDF instead of a 40-tab workbook. |
The bar we hold ourselves to
Two independent code paths over the EMSA THETIS-MRV public 2023 dataset agree to four decimal places on aggregate 2026 FuelEU penalty. See /methodology for the run details.
