(3) In the context of fuel transition to renewable and low carbon fuels and substitute sources of energy, it is essential to ensure the proper functioning of and fair competition in the EU maritime transport market regarding marine fuels, which account for a substantial share of ship operators’ costs. Total cost of ownership of shipping assets shall be a driving variable in the decisions taken by policy makers, while guiding the search for the optimal decarbonisation pathways in the shipping industry. Differences in fuel requirements across Member States of the Union can significantly affect ship operators’ economic performance and negatively impact competition in the market. Due to the international nature of shipping, ship operators may easily bunker in third countries and carry large amounts of fuel. This may lead to carbon leakage and detrimental effects on the competitiveness of the sector if the availability of renewable and low carbon fuels in maritime ports under the jurisdiction of a Member State is not accompanied by a scaled production and due requirements for their use that apply to all ship operators arriving at and departing from ports under the jurisdiction of Member States. This Regulation should lay down measures to ensure that the penetration of renewable low-carbon fuels in the marine fuels market takes place under the conditions of fair competition on the EU maritime transport market, leaving shipping operators the choice of lower abatement cost option. This is essential to guarantee the competitiveness of European shipping industries and the relevance of logistic routes linking European ports with global trade. LNG today plays a role as a transition low- carbon fuel, while laying the ground for the roll out of bioLNG and eLNG in the forthcoming decades. The Commission shall consider the technological advantages of these decarbonized alternatives in terms of abatement cost and infrastructure readiness, particularly with regards to hydrogen and ammonia- based shipping.

(9) While instruments such as carbon pricing or targets on the carbon intensity of activity promote improvements in energy efficiency, they are not suited to bring about a significant shift towards renewable and low-carbon fuels in the short and medium term. A specific regulatory approach dedicated to the deployment of renewable and low-carbon marine fuels and substitute sources of energy, such as wind or electricity, is therefore necessary is therefore necessary to be implemented in a goal-based, technology neutral and cost effective manner.

(11) Development and deployment of renewable and low carbon fuels with a high potential for sustainability, commercial maturity and a high potential for innovation and growth to meet future needs should be promoted. This will support creating innovative and competitive fuels markets and ensure sufficient supply of sustainable maritime fuels in the short and long term to contribute to Union transport decarbonisation ambitions, while strengthening Union’s efforts towards a high level of environmental protection. For this purpose, liquefied natural gas and other sustainable maritime fuels produced from feedstock listed in Parts A and B of Annex IX of Directive (EU) 2018/2001, as well as synthetic maritime fuels should be eligible. In particular, liquefied natural gas and other sustainable maritime fuels produced from feedstock listed in Part B of Annex IX of Directive (EU) 2018/2001 are essential, as currently the most commercially mature technology to decarbonise maritime transport already in the short term.

(21) The use of on-shore power supply (OPS) abates air pollution produced by ships as well as reduces the amount of GHG emissions generated by maritime transport. OPS represents an increasingly clean power supply available to ships at berth, in view of the growing renewables share in the EU electricity mix. While only the provision on OPS connection points is covered by Directive 2014/94/EU (Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Directive – AFID), the demand for and, as a result, the deployment of this technology has remained limited. Therefore specific rules should be established to mandate the use of OPS by the most polluting ships, preserving the compliance between this regulation and XXX [AFIR] Regulation.

(22) In addition to OPS, other technologies might be capable of offering equivalent environmental benefits in ports. When on a well to wake approach the use of an alternative technology is demonstrated to be equivalent to the use of OPS, a ship should be exempted from its use of OPS.

Article 4 – paragraph 2 – subparagraph 1
[Asterix: The reference value, which calculation will be carried out at a later stage of the legislative procedure, corresponds to the fleet average greenhouse gas intensity of the energy used on-board by ships in 202019 determined on the basis data monitored and reported in the framework of Regulation (EU) 2015/757 and using the methodology and default values laid down in Annex I to that Regulation.] The phase-in timescale, as laid down in Paragraph 2, shall take into account the availability of alternative solutions to the use of current fuels and be revised, if necessary, on the basis of the report that the Commission shall present on the evolution of technologies and market for renewable and low fuels in maritime transport, pursuant to Article 28 of the present Regulation].
