BetterSea, provider of a leading FuelEU compliance plaform and marketplace, and OceanOpt, a specialised emissions management service company, today announced a strategic partnership that integrates BetterSea’s FuelEU Pooling Marketplace directly into the OceanOpt emissions management platform. The collaboration will bring seamless access to FuelEU pooling capabilities to all clients of OceanOpt, BSM, and MariApps, significantly accelerating FuelEU compliance at scale.
The integration provides OceanOpt users with native access to BetterSea’s industry-leading pooling marketplace — complete with standardized legal and financial frameworks — without leaving their existing software environment. This enables end-to-end execution of FuelEU pooling transactions inside a platform already trusted for emissions tracking and decarbonization planning.
In turn, the partnership expands BetterSea’s marketplace with a meaningful influx of new participants. The addition of OceanOpt, BSM, and MariApps clients adds hundreds of vessels and operators to the platform — further boosting market liquidity and creating greater value for all participants.
The partnership also extends the availability of OceanOpt’s advisory solutions to BetterSea users, providing tailored FuelEU strategies, risk analysis, and decision support from within the product experience.
Delivering tangible value to clients for OceanOpt, BSM & MariApps clients:

Aligning on a Shared Vision
The FuelEU Maritime regulation demands more than brokerage — it requires a platform for alignment, action, collaboration, and de-risked decision-making. Through this partnership, BetterSea and OceanOpt are delivering a unified, intelligent, and trusted path to FuelEU compliance for shipowners, operators, and charterers alike.
Together, the companies are making FuelEU simple — at scale, with confidence, and without complexity.
