Recital 17 a (new)
(17a) The Commission stated in its "Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy" the importance of all transport modes to become more sustainable, with green alternatives widely available and to put in place the right incentives to drive the transition. Furthermore, the Commission's Strategy recognised that maritime transport has greater decarbonisation challenges since there is currently no economically viable zero- emission power train technology available and the fuel mix in the maritime sector relies entirely on fossil fuels. The June 2020 Council Conclusions on “EU Waterborne Transport Sector – Future outlook: Towards a carbon-neutral, zero accidents, automated and competitive EU Waterborne Transport Sector” stressed the need to support the development of alternative fuels for use in all segments of waterborne transport. It presented a vision for green and carbon-neutral ports and coastal areas that included the use of liquefied natural gas (LNG) as a transitional fuel. In addition, the European Parliament's resolution of 27 April 2021 on technical and operational measures for more efficient and cleaner maritime transport, recognised the importance of transitional technologies, such as LNG and LNG infrastructure, for a gradual transition towards zero- emissions alternatives in the maritime sector.

Recital 17 b (new)
(17b) Given the key role of alternative fossil fuels for a transitional phase, such as LNG, in the decarbonisation of the maritime transport, and taking into account the long lifetime of ships, ships operating with these alternative fossil fuels for a transitional phase, should be liable to surrender allowances from 2026 in order to ensure a smooth and just inclusion in the EU ETS.

To the extent that fewer allowances are surrendered compared to the verified emissions from maritime transport for the years 2023, 2024 and 2025, once the difference between verified emissions and allowances surrendered has been established in respect of each year, a corresponding quantity of allowances shall be cancelled rather than auctioned pursuant to Article 10. The latter will apply correspondingly to the years 2026, 2027 and 2028 for ships operating with "alternative fossil fuels for a transitional phase".
