UECC, BetterSea and Veracity by DNV demonstrate streamlined, Real-Time FuelEU Maritime Compliance through trusted digital integration

LISBON : BetterSea, the company behind the maritime industry’s leading FuelEU pooling marketplace, is proud to announce a strategic partnership with Veracity by DNV, the digital assurance platform from DNV. This collaboration enables fast onboarding and up-to-date automatic upload of the pre-verified voyage-based data to the BetterSea’s platform — ensuring robust, seamless, and regulation-ready outputs aligned with FuelEU Maritime requirements.

Through this collaboration, clients using BetterSea’s FuelEU Marketplace will benefit from automatic integration of pre-verified voyage-based data directly from Veracity by DNV’s infrastructure. This eliminates the time-intensive step of manual verification and builds digital trust into every compliance pool and trade.

“Our partnership with Veracity by DNV and BetterSea ensures that all our compliance actions are anchored in independently validated data. This is exactly the kind of digital simplicity and assurance we need as we de-risk our surplus trades for FuelEU Maritime — it’s about improving decision-making and being future-ready. As an organization leading the change in sustainable shipping, this kind of digital integration provides us with the necessary tools to leverage our extensive alternative fuel investments.”

– Daniel Gent, Energy & Sustainability Manager at UECC.

Partnership Highlights: FuelEU Compliance, Reinforced by Veracity by DNV

FuelEU Maritime sets annual greenhouse gas (GHG) intensity limits for vessels operating in European waters, creating both compliance risks and unique trading opportunities. BetterSea’s FuelEU Marketplace transforms this regulatory landscape into a dynamic surplus trading ecosystem – it is designed to facilitate this trading end-to-end, minimizing trading risks, reducing penalties and unlocking new value.

Now, through Veracity’s seamless integration with DNV’s verification service; Emissions Connect, the vessel data will undergo independent verification and data assurance—eliminating the friction of manual verification and strengthening confidence in trading outcomes.

Through this collaboration, BetterSea customers will benefit from:

• Embedded Data Verification & Assurance Emissions and fuel data verified by DNV are shared to BetterSea, and connected by Veracity—ensuring inputs are accurate, traceable, and aligned with FuelEU’s strict regulatory standards.
• Data can be shared with BetterSea instantly Sharing data has never been easier, direct connection between Veracity by DNV and BetterSea ensures minimal onboarding time. BetterSea’s platform can receive pre-verified data in minutes, making the onboarding time and resource efficient.
• Automated monitoring of prospect compliance pools With automated access to DNV’s Emissions Connect customers can now analyze different pooling options and follow their data quality. At the end of the year, the selected pool must be uploaded to Thetis for annual verification ahead of April 30 deadline. Given the data quality is good it will eliminate delays and further reducing verification overhead.

“Veracity by DNV’s ambition is to build trust in industry data and connect it securely within the larger industry eco-system. By creating a seamless integration between our Veracity cloud and BetterSea’s platform, we’re enabling shipowners to act on trusted FuelEU emissions data in real-time, creating a seamless bridge between verification and commercial decision-making.”

– Mikkel Skou, Executive Director, Veracity by DNV.
