EU MRV to EU ETS Allowance Crosswalk

Bridge a ship's annual EU MRV emissions data to its EU ETS Maritime allowance surrender obligation. Inputs: per-voyage-category CO2 (intra-EU, outbound, inbound, at-berth) plus year and EUA price. Outputs: ETS-scope CO2 after the 50% factor and phase-in, allowance obligation in tonnes, EUR cost.
