90POE's OpenOcean STUDIO independently certified across major maritime emissions frameworks by Normec Verifavia

London, 09 September 2026 - 90POE (Ninety Percent of Everything Ltd), the maritime software company behind OpenOcean STUDIO, has achieved independent certification from Normec Verifavia, confirming that its platform meets the data, process and functionality requirements of six major emissions and fuel compliance regimes.


The certification covers:


  • EU MRV (Regulation (EU) 2015/757 - Monitoring, Reporting and Verification)

  • EU ETS (the maritime extension of the EU Emissions Trading System)

  • UK MRV (the UK's equivalent monitoring and reporting regime)

  • IMO DCS (the IMO's Data Collection System for fuel oil consumption, MARPOL Annex VI)

  • IMO CII (Carbon Intensity Indicator)

  • FuelEU Maritime (Regulation (EU) 2023/1805 on renewable and low-carbon fuels)


Normec Verifavia, a leading independent verifier of maritime emissions data and IT systems, tested OpenOcean STUDIO against each regulation's requirements for fuel consumption and CO2 emissions calculations, voyage allocation, activity data, and general IT controls covering security, confidentiality, archiving, performance and change management. The assessment followed the principles of ISO 17065 (conformity assessment for bodies certifying products, processes and services).


The certification confirms that OpenOcean STUDIO's calculations, functionality and reporting process meet each regulation's requirements for demonstrating emissions compliance.


“The complexity of maritime emissions regulations has grown sharply in recent years, particularly with the introduction of EU ETS and FuelEU Maritime on top of the IMO CII and EU/UK MRV requirements.

Working through Normec Verifavia's systematic process gave us the opportunity to stress-test our product features and calculation logic against a wide range of real-world compliance scenarios, and it's genuinely satisfying to see the platform holding up to that scrutiny.” - Dimitris Argyros, Senior Advisor, 90POE


“90POE's platform demonstrated robust, accurate implementation of the calculation and reporting requirements across a demanding set of regulatory frameworks.


This certification gives shipowners and operators independent confidence in the functionality and process OpenOcean STUDIO applies in demonstrating emissions compliance.”- Rajat Bishnoi, Business Unit Director - Shipping Emissions & Performance, Normec Verifavia


Why it matters now


With FuelEU Maritime penalties and EU ETS allowance costs now live, and IMO CII ratings determining which vessels face mandated corrective action, operators are under growing pressure to prove, not just claim, that their reporting systems are accurate. Independent, third-party certification removes that burden from shipowners' own compliance teams and gives charterers, class societies and regulators a verifiable reference point.
