We develop, certify, and monetize voluntary emission reduction projects and grouped programmes for shipping companies under Gold Standard and Verra VCS methodologies.
Maritime Offsets acts as project developer for single-ship and fleet-level offset projects owned by shipping companies, and as Coordinating / Managing Entity (CME) and project owner for grouped projects (Programmes of Activities).
We bring deep technical expertise in approved maritime methodologies, robust MRV, and high-integrity credit issuance — turning decarbonization investments into long-term revenue while strengthening your regulatory position under IMO, EU ETS and FuelEU Maritime.
Container, bulk, tanker, Ro-Ro, gas carriers and specialized fleets seeking verified emission reductions.
Teams targeting CII / EEXI improvement plus an additional revenue stream from voluntary credits.
Developers of shore-power, offshore electricity, and alternative-fuel bunkering infrastructure.
Companies that need credible Scope 3 reductions backed by Gold Standard or Verra VCS credits.
Four complementary methodologies under Gold Standard and Verra VCS. Measures can be combined for compound emission reductions across single vessels or grouped fleet programmes.
Hull, propulsion and machinery upgrades that reduce fuel burn over the vessel's operating profile.
Displaces auxiliary and main engine fuel at berth or via offshore power buoys with grid or renewable electricity.
Blended biofuels — primarily UCO-derived — replacing conventional HFO, VLSFO or MGO with full supply-chain accounting.
Green / e-hydrogen, green / e-ammonia and electrofuels (e-LNG, e-LPG, e-methanol, e-diesel) with rigorous well-to-wake accounting.
Multiple methodologies can be stacked on a single vessel or across a grouped Programme of Activities (PoA) to deliver compound, additional reductions — provided emission boundaries are clearly demarcated to avoid double counting.
Maritime Offsets is developing a global Programme of Activities (PoA) that bundles all four approved maritime methodologies — retrofit efficiency, shore power, biofuels, and alternative fuels — into a single, scalable carbon credit framework.
By enrolling your vessel or fleet, you gain streamlined validation, grouped MRV, and coordinated credit issuance under Gold Standard and Verra VCS. We handle project development so you can focus on decarbonization.
Stack retrofit efficiency, shore power, biofuels, and alternative fuels under a single grouped programme.
One validation and registration event covers all enrolled vessels, accelerating time-to-credit.
Grouped MRV delivers lower unit costs and stronger portfolio liquidity for shipowners.
Maritime Offsets acts as Coordinating and Managing Entity with partners across major shipping corridors.
Submit your details and our project development team will be in touch within 48 hours to schedule a confidential discussion about your fleet's eligibility.
Tick each criterion that applies. Your fit score updates in real time and guides the right next step.
A few criteria are not yet met. We still welcome a confidential call to review your fleet and identify the fastest route to eligibility.
Indicative only. Final eligibility is determined during confidential project scoping.
Select each decarbonization action your fleet has put in place. We'll ask only for the data each action needs and apply the appropriate Gold Standard or Verra VCS methodology to compute baseline emissions, project emissions, leakage and emission reductions (ERs) per activity, plus portfolio totals.
| Activity | BE | PE | LE | ER |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Energy efficiency retrofit | 68,040 | 62,597 | 109 | 5,334 |
| Shore power (cold ironing) | 2,722 | 485 | 27 | 2,209 |
| Total | 70,762 | 63,082 | 136 | 7,544 |
High-integrity voluntary credits are not a substitute for compliance — they are the financial bridge that makes deeper, faster decarbonization commercially viable.
Model your project economicsEfficiency measures translate directly into improved CII ratings and complement EEXI compliance. DCS/MRV fuel data feeds project monitoring with minimal added burden.
Voluntary credit revenue de-risks investments that also reduce allowance exposure under EU ETS and the GHG-intensity targets of FuelEU Maritime.
Unique IMO-number tracking, contractual safeguards across owner, operator and charterer, and full alignment with Article 6 principles.
High-quality credit revenue is reinvested into further efficiency, alternative fuels and port electrification — accelerating sector-wide decarbonization.
A long-term partnership model that takes your project from concept through verified credits and active portfolio management.
Fleet screening, methodology mapping and baseline emissions assessment using IMO DCS / MRV and noon-report data.
Single-vessel or grouped (PoA) PDD developed against Gold Standard or Verra VCS methodologies, including additionality and safeguards.
Independent validation by an accredited DOE/VVB and registration under the chosen standard.
Robust MRV plan aligned with SGDL where applicable, leveraging onboard data and certified fuel records.
Credit issuance, market placement, retirement support and ongoing portfolio management across the credit lifetime.
Talk to our project developers about a feasibility study for your vessel, fleet, terminal or grouped programme. We respond to qualified enquiries within two business days.
Integrity is at the core of our work. Every project is developed under the rigorous additionality, MRV and registration requirements of Gold Standard or Verra VCS. Information provided on this site is for general guidance only and does not constitute financial, legal or carbon accounting advice.
