Dear Customer
At the start of 2024 the EU introduced a new policy to tackle carbon emissions called EU Emissions Trading System (ETS). Find out more here https://climate.ec.europa.eu/eu-action/eu-emissions-trading-system-eu-ets_en
The inclusion of the Maritime industry in the scheme is being phased in over three years, as below
- 40% as from 1 January 2024
- 70% as from 1 January 2025
- 100% as from 1 January 2026
1 January 2025 Applicable Surcharge:
2025 the level of ETS will increase from 40% to 70% as outlined above. For transparency we will show the EU ETS as a separate charge on your invoices.
Full Loads (trailers and containers) - it is not possible to provide you with a flat € increase. Your Operations contact will calculate and advise on your Lanes.
Groupage (pallets and LTL) - please add €1.95 per pallet space.
These charges are separate from the current Monthly Fuel Surcharge information. The ETS charge will appear as a separate line on your invoice . The ETS charge will be updated monthly based on the published amounts from the shipping Lines
