Shipping firms risk heavy penalties under the EU ETS due to delays and difficulties in emissions reporting, experts warned cited by TradeWinds.
- Only 980 of 2,582 shipping companies submitted verified emissions reports by the 4 April cutoff, said Gabrielle Kinder, carbon research lead at the London Stock Exchange Group.
- “It will be difficult to surrender allowances if you have not reported the actual emissions,” she said.
- Companies that fail to surrender allowances by the 30 Sep deadline will be penalised with €100/t fine.
