Fuel industry urges clearer offshore vessel emission rules

FuelsEurope, 3 Sept 2024

They argue the current definition is arbitrary and creates confusion for port towing services that rarely travel between EU ports but may be classified as offshore for technical reasons.
This would reduce substantial administrative burdens from reporting emissions on numerous daily voyages within port areas.
