ETS

Starting from January 1st, 2024, shipping companies that operate vessels between ports in the EU/EEA are required to pay annual emissions allowances as part of the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS). The EU ETS is a vital element of the EU's strategy to fight climate change, aiming to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in a cost-efficient manner.

For commercial vessels (both passenger and cargo) with a gross tonnage (GT) exceeding 5.000, the ETS will be applicable. 

Shipping companies will thus implement a separate surcharge for customers to assist in meeting ETS compliance. This surcharge may fluctuate on a monthly basis, similar to the current bunker surcharge system.

The ETS surcharge will be included in our offers together with BAF and other mandatory additional surcharges. 

The related amount will also be consultable at any time on our website and on your 360PAY private area.

Please take note that ETS pointed out on our invoices matches exactly with the value defined and charged from time to time by the shipping companies. ETS changes may be communicated to us with some delay by the shipping companies, hence the values listed on this website may differ from those charged. However, the costs included in our invoices match exactly the corresponding costs charged by the shipping companies.
