Emissions Trading System (ETS) for shipping (ferry crossings)

From January 2024, shipping (including ferry crossings) is included by the European Union initiative called ETS. This initiative serves to achieve the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. As a consequence of the entry into force of the ETS, companies generating CO2 emissions are charged in relation to the amount of their emissions in order to encourage them to take action to reduce them.

The inclusion of shipping in the ETS system has been divided by European Union into three stages:

Stage 1 as of 1 January 2024 - introduction of fees for emission permits for 40% of generated CO2
Stage 2 as of 1 January 2025 - increase of ETS fees to 70%
Stage 3 as of 1 January 2026 - increase of ETS fees to 100%

ETS costs, as announced by shipping lines, are transferred directly to their customers, which means the implementation of new fees, among others for ferry crossings that are part of the transport services provided by DSV Road for selected routes.

Therefore the "ETS" freight surcharge is introduced for international transport services for customers of DSV Road Sp. z o. o.
