GHG intensity reduction: 2% target begins (FuelEU Maritime)
Full compliance required. Zero exemptions. GHG intensity: 6% reduction
"The tide rises regardless of whether you've bought your allowances." — Neptune

The Myth
Neptune (Poseidon in Greek) ruled the seas, the storms, and the earthquakes. When he struck the ocean floor with his trident, the waters obeyed. He could be calm for years, then unleash destruction in a single wave.
In DWS IQ 6, Neptune is the maritime compliance authority. Patient like the tide, but equally inevitable. When the EU added shipping to the Emissions Trading System in 2024, Neptune was there, watching every vessel, every port call, every tonne of fuel.
"Tidal — patient but inevitable. I watched when the EU added shipping to ETS in 2024. The sea is no longer exempt. Phase-in: 40% → 70% → 100%. Your fleet has no time left."
— Neptune, to a fleet CEO who thought maritime would get another exemption
Capabilities
Maritime ETS Compliance
Phase-in tracking (40% → 70% → 100%). Allowance calculation per voyage. Port-to-port emission monitoring for EU-touching routes.
FuelEU Maritime
GHG intensity targets: 2% (2025), 6% (2030), 80% (2050). Well-to-wake lifecycle. Compliance balance pooling across fleet.
MRV Reporting
EU MRV (Regulation 2015/757) and IMO DCS. Automated fuel consumption, cargo, and voyage data collection. Third-party verification support.
Maritime Decarbonization
Pathway analysis: LNG, methanol, ammonia, hydrogen, wind-assist, shore power. CII rating optimization. Scrubber vs. compliant fuel trade-offs.
The Fans
The Fleet Admiral
Commercial Shipping CEOs
Trying to avoid massive "Carbon Tax" fines as maritime ETS reaches 100% in 2026. Neptune tells them exactly how much each voyage will cost and which fuel switches pay for themselves.
The Oceanographer
Marine NGOs & Regulators
Tracking illegal fishing, environmental degradation, and emissions violations. Cross-referenced with Argus satellite data for ground truth that companies can't dispute.
