As the trilogue negotiations on the revision of the Renewable Energy Directive (RED III) are progressing, ECSA calls on the Parliament and the Council to ensure that the requirements on fuel suppliers in RED III match the requirements placed on shipowners by FuelEU Maritime.

After the European Parliament adopted its position on the FuelEU Maritime Regulation, ECSA welcomed the progress made on the proposal, but stressed that more needs to be done to facilitate the energy transition and the decarbonisation of the industry.

European shipowners, ports, the cruise sector, shipyards and equipment manufacturers, fuel suppliers, shippers, forwarders and port operators join forces and call on the Member States and the European Parliament to earmark the revenues generated from the inclusion of the shipping sector in the EU ETS for the maritime sector.

ECSA welcomes the Council’s strong support on the mandatory pass-through of ETS costs to the commercial operator of the vessel, which upholds the “polluter-pays principle”.

ECSA welcomed the strong cross-party support by the plenary of the European Parliament for key provisions under the revised Emission Trading System for shipping.

Following the seizure of Greek flagged oil tankers “Delta Poseidon” and “Prudent Warrior” on 27 May 2022, the International Chamber of Shipping and the European Community Shipowners’ Association (ECSA) jointly call for a quick and diplomatic resolution in order for the vessels and crew to be released.

ECSA, EWABA, eFuel Alliance, the Advanced Biofuels Coalition and GoodFuels call on the Parliament and the Council to amend the Commission’s FuelEU Maritime proposal to ensure that shipowners and fuels suppliers together play a key role under the new system. 

ECSA and the green group Transport & Environment (T&E) have joined forces to call on EU countries and the members of the European Parliament to introduce necessary amendments to the FuelEU Maritime Regulation proposal, with the aim to align it with EU Climate Law and Paris Agreement goals.

ECSA welcomed the cross-party support by the European Parliament for key provisions under the revised Emission Trading System for shipping.

Sea Sentinels claims that ECSA supports "a controversial proposed amendment to the EU’s Waste Shipment Regulation that would effectively make it possible to recycle EU-flagged ships at non-OECD shipbreaking facilities in South Asia."
