Continued FuelEU Maritime pooling with Viking Line and Wallenius SOL

FerryGasum continues its strategic pooling partnerships with Viking Line and Wallenius SOL in 2026. By operating their vessels on bio-LNG, Viking Line and Wallenius SOL are generating compliance units for Gasum’s FuelEU Maritime pool. Both companies sail dualfuel vessels that can use LNG or bio-LNG interchangeably as fuel.

Their gas-powered vessels run on Gasum’s premium bio-LNG, which has negative emissions, meaning that the reduction is beyond 100%. This is possible when the biogas is produced using waste from livestock.

FuelEU Maritime came into force in 2025 and allows for a pooling mechanism, which means that vessels that exceed the regulation’s targets by using low- or zero-emission fuels can generate surplus compliance units on behalf of others. The units are used to offset deficit from other vessels within the same pool, providing flexibility and promoting broader adoption of low-emission fuels in the maritime sector.
