Ocean Freight Carrier Update – European Union (EU) Emissions Trading System (ETS) Surcharge


Carriers will implement an EU ETS surcharge for all shipments to or from the EU/EEA, including the UK, effective 1, January 2024. This surcharge, calculated per cubic meter (CBM) of cargo, will vary based on the market price of emissions allowances and will be adjusted quarterly. Only bookings where the Load Port and/or Discharge Port of the ocean journey is located in the EU/EEA (European Economic Area) countries in EU ETS scope will be charged with the emissions surcharge.
