The ship Emission Surcharge is imposed by ship operators to compensate for GHG emissions emitted during the sea crossing and while in port.
EU
The Emission Surcharge for the EU is based on the average CO2 price (EEX EUA End of Day Index price in €/tonne)* x 98% (i.e a 2% discount reflecting the reduced carbon emissions resulting from the use of biofuel). The CO2 Component is adjusted for routes to/from the UK (-50%). From January 2026 the Emission Component also includes methane and nitrous oxide.
UK (as from July 2026):
For EU-UK sailings the UK ETS relates only to emissions in UK ports. On average, in port emissions represent 14% of total shipping emissions. On an EU-UK shipping line, this means that the UK emission component represents 7% of emissions on that route (relating to emissions in the UK port). For these emissions, the average CO2 price* is taken from the ICE UKA Futures (entitlement to emit one tonne of CO2 expressed in £ and converted to €).
*the calculation period for all reference values is from the 16th of the month N-2 until 15th of the month N-1.
