Clean fuels in maritime transport: new obligations for ship operators

The act introduces rules for using renewable and low-emission fuels in maritime shipping. Ship operators must monitor greenhouse gas emissions, and ports must provide infrastructure for shore power supply. Non-compliance results in financial penalties.
Key points
New definitions and systems: THETIS-MRV system for emission monitoring and FuelEU database are introduced.
Shore power obligation: operators must report intention to use shore power before entering port.
Penalties for non-compliance: up to 50,000 SDR for missing compliance documents or incorrect data, plus possible ship detention.
Port infrastructure: ports must provide shore power access for large container and passenger ships.
Use of penalties: funds from penalties go to the National Fund for Environmental Protection for renewable fuel purposes.
Enhanced controls: strengthened waste reception controls and port worker training requirements.
