Hello QueSeanians

The incorporation of the FuelEU Maritime Regulation into the EEA Agreement is facing delays, making it difficult that this process will be finalized by January 1, 2025.

The Norwegian Maritime Authority (NMA) has indicated that this delay will classify Norwegian and Icelandic ports as third-country ports in relation to FuelEU regulation from January 1, 2025, until the incorporation into the EEA Agreement is completed.

Therefore, until the incorporation into the EEA Agreement is completed, the following apply:

  • Only 50% of the emissions will be considered for voyages where one port is in the EU and the other is either a Norwegian or Icelandic port.
  • For voyages where one port is outside the EU and the other is a Norwegian or Icelandic port, these should not be subject to the FuelEU Maritime Regulation.
