The neutral record for green shipping corridors
VesselChain is the neutral record for a green shipping corridor. Every bunker delivery is written once, signed by the accredited verifier the regulation already requires, and held identically by every partner in the corridor. It cannot be edited afterwards, including by us.
Ships, suppliers, ports and verifiers all record the same bunker delivery separately. Five reconstructions of one event, each capable of contradicting the others.
FuelEU Maritime penalises a greenhouse gas intensity deficit at €2,400 per tonne of VLSFO equivalent. EU ETS prices the emissions. The figure you report is the figure you pay on.
A corridor is an agreement between parties with no shared parent. Nobody can impose their database on the others, which is why so few get past the announcement.
A PDF in a folder and a row in a vendor database share one property: somebody could have changed them, and nobody can prove otherwise.
Three steps, one record. The regulations do not change. What changes is that nobody has to reassemble the evidence later.
After each refuelling the shipowner uploads the Bunker Delivery Note: grade, quantity, supplier, date and place of delivery.
An accredited verifier checks the data and signs it into the record. Not a role we invented: FuelEU Maritime already requires accredited verifiers.
The entry is copied identically to every corridor partner. Ports, shipowners, fuel suppliers, verifiers and regulators read the same record at the same time.
It does not measure fuel, it does not verify on anyone’s behalf, and it does not replace your reporting obligations. It gives you evidence that survives an audit.
You upload the Bunker Delivery Note once, at the point of delivery, and export audit-ready evidence for your compliance reporting. The same figure serves your flag state, your EU verifier, your charterer and your corridor partners, instead of four separate reconstructions of the same event.
You confirm what was delivered, in your own words, on the record. A quantity or quality dispute is then argued against a signed entry made at the time, not against two sets of paperwork reconstructed weeks later from different systems.
You review the entry and sign it, with every signature timestamped. The scope of your signature is the scope of your review: it attests that the entry matches the documentation you examined, and nothing in the record widens it.
Ports see the fuel activity on their corridor without owning the system that records it. Regulators and auditors read a chain of evidence that nobody could have edited after the fact, including us.
