Normec Verifavia Marks a Successful Participation at Posidonia 2026 

For Normec Verifavia, Posidonia 2026 was an outstanding success, offering the opportunity to reconnect with existing clients, meet new industry partners, and engage with shipowners, ship managers, operators, charterers, maritime suppliers, and other stakeholders navigating an increasingly complex regulatory environment. 

Throughout the exhibition, our team showcased a comprehensive portfolio of maritime sustainability assurance, compliance, environmental testing, independent verification, and digital solutions designed to support organisations confidently meet evolving international regulations while advancing their decarbonisation strategies. 

A key highlight at the Normec Verifavia stand was our Emissions Verification Dashboard, an integrated digital platform that streamlines maritime emissions compliance across FuelEU Maritime, EU ETS, EU MRV, UK MRV, IMO DCS, and CII requirements. Visitors explored how the platform centralises emissions data collection, validation, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reporting, carbon intensity reporting, regulatory submissions, XML file generation, ETS allowance tracking, FuelEU pooling, ship-type-specific corrections, and CII ratings based on actual fuel consumption and emission factors. 

The positive response from visitors reinforced the growing demand for integrated digital solutions that combine regulatory expertise with operational efficiency. 

Alongside our digital compliance solutions, our specialists demonstrated Normec Verifavia’s expanding portfolio of accredited verification and assurance services. Discussions covered FuelEU Maritime verification, EU ETS verification for shipping, EU MRV Monitoring Plan assessments, verification of alternative fuels and biofuels, well-to-wake greenhouse gas (GHG) intensity calculations, RED III emission factors, ISCC certification, and emissions data verification. As regulatory frameworks continue to evolve, independent verification remains essential for ensuring transparency, confidence, and compliance across maritime operations. 

Visitors also learned about our marine environmental compliance services, including marine water testing (VGP + D-2), supported by our expanding global network of laboratories and technicians covering more than 70 ports worldwide. In addition, our team discussed practical solutions for IHM Preparation & Maintenance, supplier compliance, CSRD, CBAM, ESG reporting, and broader sustainability initiatives that are becoming increasingly important across the maritime industry. 

Artificial intelligence and digital innovation were major themes throughout Posidonia 2026, with many discussions focusing on how technology can simplify compliance and improve operational performance. At Normec Verifavia, we believe digital transformation must be supported by transparency, traceability, and independent verification.  

The exhibition also provided an excellent opportunity to exchange knowledge on the industry’s most significant developments, including FuelEU Maritime implementation, EU ETS, IMO decarbonisation measures, alternative fuels, new propulsion technologies, emissions reporting, and the growing importance of reliable environmental data. These conversations reinforced the industry’s increasing need for integrated compliance solutions that combine accredited verification, regulatory expertise, digital innovation, and practical operational support. 

Beyond showcasing our services and technology, Posidonia 2026 enabled us to strengthen relationships with long-standing clients, establish new partnerships, and engage in valuable conversations with maritime professionals from around the world. The enthusiasm and collaboration throughout the exhibition reflected the maritime sector’s shared commitment to sustainability, innovation, and regulatory excellence. 

We would like to sincerely thank everyone who visited the Normec Verifavia stand. Your interest, insightful discussions, and continued trust made our participation a tremendous success, and we greatly appreciate the opportunity to share our expertise and learn more about the challenges and opportunities facing the industry. 

As the maritime sector continues to embrace decarbonisation, digitalisation, and increasingly sophisticated regulatory requirements, Normec Verifavia remains committed to delivering trusted independent verification, maritime sustainability assurance, environmental testing, and innovative digital compliance solutions. 

Thank you, Athens, for an incredible Posidonia 2026. We look forward to continuing the conversations, strengthening existing partnerships, building new relationships, and supporting the maritime industry’s journey towards a more sustainable, compliant, and digitally connected future. 

See you there at Posidonia 2028!

The 2026 strategic roadmap: Navigating the final reconciliation of CORSIA phase 1

The first phase of CORSIA is entering its final months. For most operators, the 2025 reporting cycle—verified by independent bodies before April 30, 2026, represented the most rigorous data exercise since the program’s inception. However, a verified report is merely the “input” for a larger financial equation. As we progress through 2026, the industry is operating in a dual-track reality: Retrospective Reconciliation: Finalising the 2025 financial obligations. Prospective Monitoring: Ensuring the 2026 burn year, the final year of the first phase, is tracked with absolute precision ahead of the April 2027 verification deadline.

UK ETS: Treatment of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Consultation

The UK Emissions Trading Scheme (UK ETS) Authority has launched a consultation to gather stakeholder views on the future treatment of SAF within the UK ETS framework, particularly in light of the introduction of the UK SAF Mandate. The consultation explores potential changes to SAF eligibility, sustainability requirements, greenhouse gas (GHG) savings thresholds, and accounting methodologies, with the objective of strengthening policy alignment and supporting the decarbonisation of the aviation sector.

ReFuelEU Aviation Compliance in 2025: Verification Coverage and Compliance Patterns

ReFuelEU Aviation (Regulation (EU) 2023/2405) is one of the European Union’s key measures to reduce aviation emissions by increasing the use of sustainable aviation fuels and discouraging economic tankering. For aircraft operators, Article 5(1) requires that at least 90% of the yearly aviation fuel required for flights departing from a Union airport is uplifted from that Union airport. Where this threshold is not met, Article 5(2) is used for justification, and EASA’s guidance and Monitoring Tool support the monitoring and reporting process. The 2025 reporting year is also the first in which competent authorities can impose penalties for non-compliance with Article 5(1) of the ReFuelEU Aviation Regulation 2023/2405. In 2024, the first reporting year, the main challenge was establishing the monitoring and reporting process itself. In 2025, the picture is more developed. The question is no longer only whether operators are reporting, but what the reports show about compliance behaviour and justification quality. That is where this year’s verified information becomes useful.

Navigating SAF documentation: Common challenges and best practices

As Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) adoption continues to grow under Aviation Regulations, documentation quality and traceability have become key areas of focus during reporting of SAF and verification activities. While SAF offers significant environmental benefits, demonstrating compliance requires operators to maintain accurate, complete, and verifiable records throughout the reporting period. Based on our experience supporting aviation stakeholders with compliance and verification activities, several recurring challenges have emerged. Fortunately, many of these issues can be addressed through early planning and proactive engagement with fuel suppliers and competent authorities.

CSRD Scope Narrowed: But Are You Still Required to Verify Sustainability Reporting?

The European Commission’s Omnibus “Content Directive” entered into force on 18 March 2026, bringing final clarity to the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive after more than a year of negotiation. EU Member States now have until 19 March 2027 to transpose the changes into national law. For organisations subject to CSRD, this is the moment to adjust your verification planning with confidence. The question is no longer whether CSRD will apply it is whether your organization remains in scope, and if not, whether voluntary verification still serves your business objectives.
