ECSA and T&E are urging to include in the FuelEU Maritime suppliers of fuels such as parts responsible for decarbonisation of shipping
Renewed the call to use the resources of the Regulation and EU ETS to make sustainable shipborne fuels cost competitive
May 31, 2022
The element of the most weakness of the proposal, which is repeatedly remarked by international shipowners ' associations, is precisely that of failure to empower suppliers of fuels. Noting that "the responsibility of fuel suppliers is essential to achieve these ambitious regulatory objectives", ECSA and T&E have therefore called for " the introduction of strict requirements for Member States under the FuelEU Maritime to the end to ensure that fuel suppliers in European ports provide the compliant fuel vessels and in sufficient quantities to meet the objectives of the standards. "
In addition, ECSA and T&E highlighted the need for the revenues generated by FuelEU Maritime and the EU ETS, the EU Emissions Trading Scheme, to be used to facilitate the energy transition of the maritime sector and to contribute to bridging the differential between conventional fuels and sustainable and scalable alternatives, even-they specified the two organizations-through contracts by difference on the price of carbon. Finally the two associations called for the introduction of a high multiplier for the use of sustainable and scalable ship fuel in order to make them cost competitive in terms of costs compared to other fuels.
