FuelEU flaw means dirtier ships pay less than they should, say researchers
- Penalty calculation leads to uneven penalties
- Penalties slightly higher for MGO and LSFO than for HFO
- Research hub advises UK Government not to copy EU when drawing up its own fuel standard
Dirtier ships trading in the EU will pay less than cleaner ones because of a problem with the way the FuelEU Maritime regulation calculates penalties, according to the UK National Clean Maritime Research Hub
