Parliament's position on a regulation on the use of renewable and low-carbon fuels in maritime transport, amending Directive 2009/16/EC. It sets greenhouse gas intensity limits for ship energy, shore-side electricity and onshore power supply duties, and rules on e-fuels and compliance.

Key points

  1. The regulation applies to ships arriving at, staying in or departing from ports under member states' jurisdiction, and lays down rules on renewable and low-carbon fuels.

Who is affected

  • Ships and ports in the EU, which must meet fuel and shore-power rules.

Legal basis: Article 294(2) and Article 100(2) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.
