Recital 2 a (new)
(2a) LNG is likely to play a continued transitional role in maritime transport, where there is currently no economically viable zero-emission powertrain technology available. The Communication on the Smart and Sustainable Mobility Strategy points to zero-emission seagoing ships becoming market ready by 2030. Fleet conversion should take place gradually due to the long lifetime of the ships. Transport fuels such as LNG need increasingly to be decarbonised by blending/substituting with liquefied biomethane (bio-LNG) or renewable and low-carbon synthetic gaseous e-fuels (e-gas) for instance.

(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. 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 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. In this line, this Regulation shall not apply to the energy used for those voyages in the EEE where the socioeconomic impacts of these measures risk to render the voyage services impracticable or where it can be demonstrated there is a carbon leakage due to cargo shifting to other transport means.

(4) In order to produce an effect on all the activities of the maritime transport sector, it is appropriate that this Regulation covers a share of the voyages between a port under the jurisdiction of a Member State and port under the jurisdiction of a third country. This Regulation should thus apply to half of the energy used by a ship performing voyages arriving atthe entirety of the energy used on voyages from a non-EU neighbouring country transhipment port to a port of call under the jurisdiction of a Member State, and a share of the voyages between a port under the jurisdiction of a Member State from aand port outsiunder the jurisdiction of a Member State, half of the of the energy used by a ship performing voyages departing from a port under the jurisdiction of a Member State and arriving at a port outside the jurisdiction of a Member State,third country except those from a non-EU neighbouring country transhipment port. This Regulation should also apply to the entirety of the energy used on by a ship performing voyages arriving at a port under the jurisdiction of a Member State from a port under the jurisdiction of a Member State, and the energy used at berth, in other words, when the ship is securely moored at a berth while loading and unloading, in a port under the jurisdiction of a Member State. Such coverage of a share of the energy used by a ship in both incoming and outgoing voyages between the Union and third countries ensures the effectiveness of this Regulation, including by increasing the positive impact on the environment of such framework. Simultaneously, such frameworktargeted measures should be implemented to further limits the risk of evasive port calls and the risk of delocalisation of transhipment activities outside the Union. IThis Regulation should ensure uniform rules in order to ensure smooth operation of maritime traffic, as well as a level playing field among maritime transport operators and among ports, and avoid distortions in the EU internal market, all journeys arriving or departing from ports under jurisdiction of Member States, as well as the stay of ships in those ports should be covered by uniform rules contained in this Regulation.

(4a) Voyages operating under a public service contract or subject to public service obligations, and voyages operating within the EEE to the outermost regions of the Union within the same Member States and also those voyages within the same Member State in these regions should be exempted from any obligations under this Regulation, given their high EU value in improving these regions' accessibility and socioeconomic cohesion.
