In 2013, the Commission set out a strategy towards reducing GHG emissions from the shipping industry.

 

The strategy consists of 3 consecutive steps:

 

  • Monitoring, reporting and verification of CO2 emissions from large ships using EU ports
  • Greenhouse gas reduction targets for the maritime transport sector
  • Further measures, including market-based measures, in the medium to long term.
