Maritime transport: monitoring, reporting and verification and alignment with revisions of the EU Emissions Trading System

This procedure aims to align the monitoring, reporting, and verification of greenhouse gas emissions from maritime transport with the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS). It ensures that emissions from ships calling at EU ports are accounted for and contribute to the EU's climate goals.

This affects shipping companies and operators, requiring them to track and report their emissions. It will lead to the gradual inclusion of maritime transport into the carbon market, impacting operational costs and encouraging greener shipping practices.
