Green Maritime
The fleet is changing.
The crew needs
to change with it.
FuelEU Maritime, EU ETS, CII ratings — new regulations mean new roles. We match companies with the specialists who understand the green transition.
Why this matters right now
The EU has moved from ambition to enforcement. These four regulations are creating urgent demand for a new class of maritime professional.
FuelEU Maritime
All vessels above 5,000 GT calling EU ports must meet progressively stricter GHG intensity targets. From 2025: -2%. By 2050: -80%. Every shipping company needs people who understand alternative fuel operations.
EU Emissions Trading System
Shipping companies now pay for their CO₂ emissions through the EU ETS. From 2024: 40% of emissions covered. By 2026: 100%. Companies urgently need carbon accounting specialists and ETS compliance officers.
CII Ratings
Every vessel now receives an annual Carbon Intensity Indicator rating (A–E). D or E ratings for two consecutive years trigger a corrective action plan. Fleet managers and vessel operators need CII expertise on every ship.
IMO 2030 / 2050 Targets
40% GHG reduction by 2030, net-zero by 2050. The decade-long transformation is creating a sustained pipeline of green maritime hiring — ammonia, hydrogen, and wind-assist are the next frontier.
What companies are hiring for
LNG Operations
Dual-fuel and LNG-only vessel experience. SIGTTO-certified engineers and officers are commanding premium salaries across European fleets.
Methanol Propulsion
Methanol is the fastest-growing alternative fuel for new builds. Engineers with methanol system experience are exceptionally rare right now.
EU ETS Compliance
MRV reporting, emissions verification, allowance management. Shore-based roles growing fast across management companies and operators.
CII & Voyage Optimisation
Combining operational efficiency with regulatory compliance. Data-literate deck officers who understand voyage planning and CII impact.
Ammonia Systems
Still emerging, but the 3–5 year pipeline for ammonia-ready vessels is creating early demand for engineers willing to upskill now.
Maritime ESG Reporting
CSRD, sustainability reporting, investor ESG disclosures. Shoreside roles bridging maritime operations and corporate sustainability.
