FAQs on the EU-ETS for Shipping

The European Union (EU) sets a target of reducing GHG emissions by at least 55% below 1990 levels by 2030, with the aim of achieving net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in 2050. In July 2021, a comprehensive climate change policy package, "Fit for 55," was announced to achieve the 2030 target, including a proposal to extend the EU Emissions Trading System (EU-ETS) to the shipping sector. At the end of February 2023, the proposal to extend the EU-ETS to the shipping sector is under final consideration in the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union with a view to introducing in January 2024.

For those in the shipping sector who will be complying with the EU-ETS for the first time, ClassNK prepared "FAQs on the EU-ETS for Shipping (1st Edition)," which provides an overview of the EU-ETS and relevant information in EU-ETS for shipping sector. We hope that the document will help maritime stakeholders in their preparations for EU-ETS.

ClassNK MRV Portal

ClassNK offers software “ClassNK MRV Portal” which enables users to submit MP and ER smoothly as well as download MP templates and control monitoring data such as sending monitoring data and documentary evidence from ship or shore to the verifier. The company can utilize the input data gathered through this service for preparation and submission of ER. Submitting data through ClassNK MRV Portal leads to reduced costs of ClassNK certification services for EU-MRV.

Please note that when the company deals with the regulation, it is required to develop MP in accordance with the company’s procedures and monitor and confirm the accuracy of data, therefore just submission of data does not mean certification from the Society.
