It will apply per Revenue Ton to Part Cargoes on AAL\u2019s regular trading routes to and from the European continent and be quoted separately from normal freight rates<\/strong>. For full and complete cargoes, AAL intends to calculate a surcharge based on estimated \/ actual voyage emissions.<\/p>\n The EU ETS is the world\u2019s first carbon market – launched in 2005 and designed to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions cost effectively. From January 1, 2024, the scheme will require all ship operators sailing to or from a European port to monitor and report their emissions, with purchase allowances surrendered as additional charges for every ton of CO2 emitted<\/strong>.<\/p>\n \u201cAs the industry continues towards greater sustainability and oversight, it is incumbent upon us to ensure that our customers and other supply chain partners remain ahead of the game and kept fully appraised of how changing regulations will impact their cargo movements. AAL will carefully monitor and share any adjustments on a quarterly basis,\u201d said Felix Schoeller, AAL Director and Head of the carrier\u2019s Sustainability Committee.<\/strong><\/p>\n He added: \u201cThe EU ETS is an important step in protecting the environment<\/strong> in which we operate. This surcharge guidance comes on the heels of our latest Sustainability Report in 2022 that we released publicly in August and is our latest initiative in setting a new precedent for greater sustainability across the global multipurpose shipping sector.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n maritime professional<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" November 22, 2023 Source: AAL Shipping AAL Shipping has claimed a first for becoming the first project heavy lift carrier to publish a carbon surcharge guidance to help its customers prepare for the increased costs related to forthcoming European Union regulations on carbon emissions.
