EU ETS and Shipping: Final Countdown to First Surrender

17.9.25

The clock is ticking for the maritime sector. By 30 September 2025, shipping companies must account for 40% of their verified 2024 GHG emissions by surrendering the corresponding EU Allowances (EUAs).

The implications of falling short are significant: from substantial penalties to reputational fallout. With the deadline fast approaching, shipping companies need to prioritise securing and managing EUAs effectively ensuring that all is set ahead of time.

The EU ETS is no longer a future challenge – it’s a present compliance reality.
