EMISSIONS: EC Said Small Vessels Are Not Ready For ETS Reporting Obligation

EMISSIONS
BulletPower BulletsEnergy BulletsCommodities

The latest EC analysis concluded that small vessels between 400 and 5,000 gross tonnages that aren’t already in the EU ETS reporting scope are not ready for reporting as the administrative costs will significantly outweigh the benefits, it said.

  • Small vessels between 400 and 5,000 gross tonnages that have reporting obligation are small general cargo and offshore vessels, while all other types of small vessels are excluded.
  • Small vessels that are excluded from current reporting obligation accounts for 43% of the total vessels count but only 9% of the total emissions with reporting obligation.
  • The ratio between administrative costs and coverage of emissions would be on average seven times higher for smaller vessels, compared to the larger vessels currently subject to EU ETS reporting obligations, it said.
  • An additional assessment on benefits that could result from integration of smaller vessels in other emissions mitigation policies will be carried out in the 2026 review of the EU ETS Directive.
