Italy-based New Sea Generation Srl, a prominent name in the global bunker trading and marine fuel supply, has proudly announced that it has officially obtained ISCC-EU certification, a critical milestone that positions the company at the forefront of sustainable bunkering and alternative marine fuels.
The certification, awarded under the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) scheme, confirms that New Sea Generation is fully compliant with the European Renewable Energy Directive (RED II) and the recently enforced FuelEU Maritime Regulation, which took effect on January 1st, 2025. This regulatory framework mandates a gradual reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) intensity from marine fuels used within the European Union, placing increasing importance on the role of alternative fuels such as advanced biofuels, e-methanol, and other renewable energy sources in maritime operations.
FuelEU Maritime: A Turning Point for the Shipping Industry
The FuelEU Maritime initiative is a cornerstone of the European Union’s “Fit for 55” package, which aims to cut GHG emissions by at least 55% by 2030. It applies to all commercial vessels over 5,000 GT calling at EU ports, and sets annual targets for the decarbonization of onboard energy use.
With the ISCC-EU certification, New Sea Generation is now officially equipped to supply sustainable marine fuels that meet the strict environmental criteria outlined in the FuelEU regulation. This includes verified lifecycle emissions and traceability of biofuel supply chains, offering transparency and compliance to shipping companies preparing to navigate the new legislative landscape.
“We are proud to support the maritime sector’s energy transition,” New Sea Generation shared. “Our ISCC-EU certification not only proves our commitment to sustainability but also enables us to help our clients meet their regulatory and environmental targets under FuelEU 2025.”
Alternative Fuels & Sustainable Bunkering on the Rise
The certification comes at a pivotal moment, as shipowners and operators face mounting pressure to decarbonize operations and adopt low-carbon and zero-carbon fuels. Biofuels have emerged as one of the most immediate and scalable options due to their compatibility with existing ship engines and infrastructure. The ISCC-EU scheme plays a vital role in verifying the sustainability of such fuels, ensuring that they deliver genuine environmental benefits over fossil fuels.
New Sea Generation’s entry into the certified sustainable fuel space demonstrates a strategic alignment with future shipping trends, as the sector moves rapidly toward net-zero targets. The company is now well-positioned to offer alternative fuel bunkering solutions, ensuring vessel operators can source compliant biofuels across major maritime hubs.
