The World Shipping Council has submitted comments to the European Commission regarding the EU ETS shipping emissions - rules on monitoring and reporting.
WSC supports the development of appropriate GHG pricing mechanisms that effectively narrows the price differential between conventional fossil fuels and renewable marine fuels.

Our main requirement is that tank-to-wake pricing of GHGs for maritime inclusion in the EU ETS produce economic signals that promote the uptake of the best performing candidate fuels for reducing GHGs in shipping.
