(4) The initiatives on ReFuelEU aviation48 and FuelEU maritime49 should boost the production and uptake of sustainable alternative fuels in aviation and maritime transport. While the fuel use requirements for the sustainable aviation fuels can largely rely on the existing refuelling infrastructure, investments are needed for the electricity supply of stationary aircraft. Moreover, Member State should assess the current state and future development of the hydrogen market for aviation and should provide for a feasibility study on the deployment of the relevant infrastructure to power aircrafts including, where appropriate, a deployment plan for alternative fuels infrastructure in airports, in particular for hydrogen and electric recharging for aircrafts. The FuelEU maritime initiative sets requirements in particular for the use of on shore power that can only be fulfilled if an adequate level of on shore power supply is deployed in TEN-T ports. However those initiatives do not contain any provisions on the required fuel infrastructure which are a prerequisite that the targets can be met. Furthermore, the Energy Taxation Directive1a recast should incentivise the use of on shore power. Therefore, alignment between this Directive and the current Regulation is necessary in order to ensure a coherent framework for the use and deployment of alternative fuels. _________________ 1a COM(2021) 563 48 COM(2021) 561. 49 COM(2021) 562.

(32) Shore-side electricity facilities can serve maritime and inland waterway transport as clean power supply and contribute to reducing the environmental impact of seagoing ships and inland waterway vessels. Under the FuelEU maritime initiative, ship operators of container and passenger ships need to comply with provisions to reduce emissions at berth. Mandatory deployment targets should ensure that the sector finds sufficient shore-side electricity supply in TEN-T core and comprehensive maritime ports to comply with those requirements. The application of these targets to all TEN- T maritime ports should ensure the level playing field between ports. Given the high costs and complexity related to the roll-out of shore-side electricity in maritime ports, it is essential to prioritise investments particularly where it makes the most sense in terms of geographic location and emissions reduction.

(33) Container ships and passenger ships, being the ship categories which are producing the highest amount of emissions per ship at berth, should as a priority be provided with shore-side electricity supply. In order to take into account power demand characteristics while at berth of different passenger ships, as well as port operational characteristics, it is necessary to distinguish between the passenger ship requirements for ro-ro passenger ships and high speed passenger vessels, and those for other passenger ships. In this roll out process, all relevant public and private actors need to be involved, including but not limited to port authorities, terminal operators, grid operators, OPS operators, shipowners, other relevant maritime market players, and local or regional and national authorities.

(34) These targets should take into account the types of vessels served and their respective traffic volumes. Maritime ports with low traffic volumes of certain ship categories, should be exempted from the mandatory requirements for the corresponding ship categories based on a minimum level of traffic volume, so as to avoid underused capacity being installed. Similarly, the mandatory targets should not aim to target maximum demand, but a sufficiently high volume, in order to avoid underused capacity and to take account of port operational characteristics. Maritime transport is an important link for the cohesion and economic development of islands in the Union. E as well as the outermost regions. Their energy production capacity in these islands may not always be sufficient to account for the power demand required to support the provision of shore- side electricity supply. In such a case islandthese territories should be exempted from this requirement unless and until such an electrical connection with the mainland has been completed or there is a sufficient locally generated capacity from clean energy sources.

(41a) While the introduction of mandatory targets for Member States is motivated by the need to encourage the creation of an interoperable network of recharging and refuelling infrastructure ensuring a fair geographical distribution and covering the entire territory of the EU, the development of a recharging and refuelling infrastructure market should mainly result from private investment. National regulatory and financial incentives are intended to have a knock- on effect and stimulate the supply of infrastructure in cases where market conditions require public support, especially in sparsely populated areas or areas with low traffic density and in the islands and outermost regions. However, investment decisions by private actors remain motivated by the existence of tangible prospects of profitability, supported by sufficient demand to fuel a competitive market, as well as by clear decarbonisation pathways.
