The World Shipping Council (WSC) and member liner carriers are highly concerned about Parliament’s delay in finalizing its position on FuelEU Maritime.

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”.

Environment ministers of the EU27 approved a carbon market to regulate key sources of transport emissions, but important exemptions remain, says Transport and Environment (T&E).

A growing awareness of the importance of environmental sustainability has brought a subsequent increase in sustainable finance, highlighting that economic activity needs to reflect environmentally sustainable solutions. But what does “sustainable” mean and what is the role of regulation in helping this “sustainable” finance?

The Union of Greek Shipowners (UGS) welcomed the proposed revisions of the EU ETS Directive regarding the shipping sector.

The World Shipping Council (WSC) acknowledged the important milestone that has been reached following the adoption of the European Parliament’s position on the EU ETS proposal, but called for further improvements.

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.

The EU Parliament has voted in favour of extending its carbon market to shipping and road transport.

In a plenary vote on 8 June, the European Parliament rejected several amendments to the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) agreed in May by the EP’s Environment Committee (ENVI).

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.
