Interferry calls for rethink of EU ETS as road transport remains exempt
- Global ferry and ro-ro trade body is calling on the EU to halt the expansion of the maritime Emissions Trading System beyond the 70% coverage level introduced in 2025
- The appeal follows the EU Council’s decision to keep road transport outside a parallel ETS, creating what Interferry describes as an uneven climate policy framework
Interferry is arguing for funds to be reinvested directly into maritime decarbonisation measures such as shore power, electrification and e-fuels, rather than absorbed into national budgets
