SINGAPORE, January 20, 2026 — Uni-Fuels Holdings Limited (NASDAQ: UFG) (“Uni-Fuels” or the “Company”), a Singapore-headquartered global supplier of marine fuel solutions, today announced that its fully owned subsidiaries—Uni-Fuels Pte Ltd (“Uni-Fuels Singapore”) and Uni-Fuels Middle East FZCO (“Uni-Fuels Dubai”)—are providing EU Allowances (EUAs) to help shipowners and operators comply with the European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) as it expands to include maritime transport.
This EUA offering complements the range of marine fuel services provided by Uni-Fuels’ subsidiaries and aligns with the Company’s strategy of delivering value-driven, end-to-end solutions. The launch reaffirms Uni-Fuels’ ongoing commitment to sustainability by supporting customers as they navigate evolving regulatory requirements while balancing operational priorities with environmental compliance.
Under the EU ETS framework, shipowners must monitor and verify their vessels’ emissions and surrender a corresponding number of EUAs annually to offset verified emissions. The system was extended to maritime transport on January 1, 2024, with a phased rollout: 40% of verified emissions require allowances in 2024, rising to 70% in 2025, and full compliance mandated from 2026 onward. Failing to submit sufficient allowances may result in financial penalties and enforcement actions, underscoring the critical need for reliable access to EUAs.
“As global maritime operations increasingly demand greater operational transparency and stronger environmental accountability, shipowners and operators are facing a significant regulatory shift,” stated Ms. Stefanie Tay, Chief Operating Officer of Uni-Fuels. “Our subsidiaries are dedicated to supporting customers through this transition by providing consistent access to EUAs alongside the core services they already trust, helping them manage risks, stay compliant, and make informed decisions in a changing regulatory landscape.”
Ms. Tay continued, “This initiative marks a key milestone in Uni-Fuels’ 2026 global strategic roadmap, which focuses on scaling operations and expanding service offerings to meet emerging customer needs across the global maritime sector. The EUA service strengthens the Company’s value proposition by enabling shipowners and operators to efficiently meet compliance obligations while focusing on their core business activities.”
