Scenario 1: Maritime compliance costs are no longer confined to regional regulation. Based on current policy timelines and market assumptions, the industry’s annual compliance bill could rise from around USD 2.7 billion in 2024 to more than USD 57 billion by 2032, with the IMO framework becoming the largest driver of future cost exposure.
The full storyA fee of 150 USD per tonne CO2e emitted from ships discharging international cargo at U.S. ports is suggested to be implemented from January 2024. The new carbon fee would be added to the EU ETS carbon cost.
Shipping’s inclusion in the European Union’s Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) brought carbon pricing to the maritime sector. For charterers who want to leverage the opportunities of the transition, it’s time to embrace the change and learn how to navigate the EU ETS. A good way to start is to understand how the new regulations impact your everyday work. So, we sum up some key aspects of the EU ETS - from a chartering perspective.
Decarbonisation goals are often vague, with no concrete action plan nor plans to document the amount of emissions reduced. North Sea Container Line and carbon analytics company Siglar Carbon have signed an agreement that can make a change and provide the shipping industry with a best practise.
