Shipping carbon decisions and data control raise questions over penalties

[Attaqa] The maritime shipping sector is focusing on who makes carbon-emissions decisions and who controls the data behind them, as shipowners seek to comply with regulations aimed at cutting emissions, according to Attaqa. With the EU Emissions Trading System fully applied to shipping and the EU's FuelEU Maritime rules tightening, carbon has become a core cost item, the report said. The questions over decision-making and data ownership have raised concerns about penalties, according to the report.
