ESPO, FEPORT, and the European Tugowners Association (ETA) signed a joint press release, recognising the need for the shipping sector to reduce emissions. For this reason, they support requirements for ships to reduce emissions, alongside requirements for the use and deployment of onshore power supply (OPS) where it makes sense in ports.

Ten trade organisations, representing the owners and forwarders of cargo, port terminal operators and other parts of the supply chain dependent on container shipping, are demanding an immediate start to the review of European Union’s Consortia Block Exemption Regulation for the container shipping industry.

On June 22nd and June 30th, 2022, the European Parliament (EP) and the European Council have voted and agreed on their position regarding the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS). FEPORT supports the inclusion of shipping into EU ETS but is concerned on how the extra-EU application of the Directive could impact the competitive position of EU ports.

The European Sea Ports Organisation (ESPO) and the Federation of European Private Port Companies and Terminals (FEPORT) have jointly agreed that the proposals for an Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR) and the FuelEU Maritime Regulation should enable the deployment of Onshore power supply (OPS) where it makes the most sense.
