From a single broking desk to a listed group
Each tool comes in editions, so a desk uses only what fits its side of the contract and its size.
Three answers, one starting point
Pick what fits; the recommendation updates as you go. The full map of editions is in the table below it.
Where each desk starts
The tools are built in editions, so a broker, a charterer or a private owner with a handful of ships uses only what fits the desk, and a listed group adds the fleet, disclosure and cyber layers.
| Who | What they use it for | Where to start |
|---|---|---|
| Shipbrokers | Price carbon into the offer, show who pays, draft the allocation clause | MCCS Broker |
| Charterers & commodity traders | Compare candidate vessels on voyage result, carbon per tonne of cargo, CIF or FOB | MCCS Charterer |
| Private & smaller owners | Fixture desk, FuelEU per vessel, Poseidon statement for the lender, hold or sell timing | MCCS Owner SME |
| Ship managers & operators | Cyber controls, incident clocks and evidence for vetting, class and insurers | MCRC |
| Listed shipping groups | Full fleet compliance and disclosure, resilience and cyber governance, the five regulatory layers together | MCCS Owner · MCRC · Study |
| Banks & lessors | Carbon exposure across the financed fleet, credit stress, collateral, alignment | MCCS-BV |
| Every desk | EU ETS and FuelEU scope and the sailing distance for each port pair, ready to quote | Scope & Distance Reference |
Groups listed in Athens and New York
Listed groups and the banks that lend to them answer to further regimes at once. The same tools produce the evidence each one asks for, from a single source.

MCRC supplies the incident and resilience evidence behind governance disclosures, NIS2 and CER obligations. Advisory work under DORA, NIS2 and CER is delivered alongside the tools.
