Helsinki, Finland | December 9, 2025 – Ahti Pool, the established leader in FuelEU Maritime compliance solutions, has announced a pivotal strategic partnership with ScanOcean. The collaboration will introduce a dedicated FuelEU Maritime pooling service, dubbed a “pool-in-pool” solution, specifically tailored for ScanOcean’s customer base.
This innovative model will allow shipowners to leverage their own consumption of biofuels for meeting FuelEU obligations while retaining access to the broader flexibility and cost-optimisation capabilities of the larger Ahti Pool.

Enhancing Flexibility and Scale
Ahti Pool currently manages fleets from prominent owners and operators, including Van Weelde Group, Bore, Spliethoff, Stenersen, and Neste—overseeing emissions exposure valued at over €100 million.
Under the new agreement, ScanOcean, an international energy and distribution company with a strong Nordic footprint, will market and sell this turnkey compliance service. The offering combines:
- Ahti Pool’s Expertise: Scale, technical pooling know-how, and proven cost-optimisation tools.
- ScanOcean’s Strengths: A recognised logistics network, offtake agreements with leading refiners, and a strong reputation for seamless bunkering operations, particularly in the Nordic area.
Risto-Juhani Kariranta, CEO of Ahti Pool, highlighted the strategic advantage of the new structure.
“We are pleased to partner with ScanOcean to expand Ahti Pool’s capability to serve owners seeking fleet-level compliance and cost certainty,” Kariranta commented. “The pool-in-pool approach complements our turnkey model, enhances optimisation at scale, and strengthens our ability to help shipowners reduce their emissions as well as materially lowering their risk exposure.”
Turning Complexity into Advantage
The FuelEU Maritime regulation is set to drive the demand for renewable marine fuels, but also introduces significant administrative and compliance complexities for shipowners. The ‘pool-in-pool’ solution is designed to simplify this transition.
Lars Lövsund, Business Development Manager at ScanOcean, affirmed the benefit to their clientele.
“Our pool-in-pool solution, together with Ahti’s proven pooling platform, gives shipowners the transparency and flexibility required to manage renewable fuel allocation and regulatory compliance efficiently,” Lövsund stated. “This partnership turns FuelEU Maritime’s complexity into a strategic advantage for fleet owners in Ahti Pool.“
This collaboration is expected to provide a streamlined, high-value pathway for European shipowners to navigate the mandates of FuelEU Maritime, ensuring efficient allocation of renewable fuels and regulatory adherence.
