NAPA Partners with Ahti Climate for Maritime Compliance
NAPA, a prominent provider of maritime software and data services, has announced a strategic partnership with Ahti Climate. This collaboration aims to enhance compliance with the FuelEU Maritime regulations, which are crucial for the decarbonization of the shipping industry. Ahti Climate is recognized for its innovative FuelEU Maritime pooling services and manages over 250 vessels. This partnership will offer NAPA’s customers integrated access to Ahti Pool, a streamlined and cost-effective solution for meeting regulatory requirements.
Enhancing Digital Solutions for Compliance
The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between NAPA and Ahti Climate marks a significant step in improving digital solutions for maritime compliance. Under this agreement, NAPA will integrate Ahti Pool’s active pool management services into its existing offerings. This integration allows NAPA customers to access their pool balance directly through the NAPA Fleet Intelligence platform. The NAPA FuelEU Maritime module, set to launch in autumn 2024, has already undergone successful trials involving 1,500 vessels in collaboration with ClassNK.
This module has demonstrated its effectiveness in simplifying compliance processes. By partnering with Ahti Climate, NAPA aims to provide a quick and frictionless compliance experience for its customers. This partnership not only streamlines the compliance process but also helps reduce operational and administrative costs associated with FuelEU regulations. The collaboration reflects NAPA’s commitment to delivering innovative solutions that support the shipping industry’s transition towards sustainability.

Ossi Mettälä, Product Manager at NAPA Shipping Solutions, emphasized the company’s dedication to supporting the decarbonization of the shipping sector. He stated, “NAPA is committed to providing innovative and efficient solutions that support the decarbonisation of the shipping industry.” The partnership with Ahti Climate reinforces this commitment by offering an efficient compliance solution that is trusted by major shipowners and ship managers.
Risto Kariranta, CEO of Ahti Pool, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration. He noted that both companies share a vision for smarter, safer, and more sustainable shipping. The agreement will enable over a thousand ships using NAPA Fleet Intelligence to meet their FuelEU Maritime obligations quickly and cost-effectively. This partnership not only benefits the companies involved but also contributes to the broader goal of reducing the maritime industry’s carbon footprint.
In November 2024, NAPA and Ahti Climate hosted a webinar focused on the implications of FuelEU Maritime regulations for shipowners and charterers. The session provided expert insights into effective compliance strategies, fuel management, and operational techniques. This initiative underscores the companies’ commitment to educating the maritime community about regulatory changes and best practices for sustainability.
