Emissions Trading System (ETS) implements 100%

Published:

ETS is a market-based approach to controlling pollution by providing economic incentives for reducing emissions of pollutants. The EU ETS (European Union Emissions Trading System) is the largest carbon market in the world. It sets a cap on the total amount of greenhouse gases that can be emitted by installations covered by the system. Companies receive or buy emission allowances, which they can trade with one another.

The goal behind this system is to reduce overall emissions cost-effectively and encourage investment in clean technologies.

The next step in implementing the full-scale ETS in Europe is implementing 100% from 1st January 2026.

For our customers, the next step in implementing full ETS means a higher fee for sea freight in Europe and a add-on to the road freight due to all ferry costs. Ferry lines charge us for the ETS valid at the time of transport.

ETS fees will be updated every month.

 From 1st January 2027 ETS 2 will be implemented. ETS 2; EU Emissions Trading System for Road Transport and Buildings.
