(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. The FuelEU maritime initiative sets requirements in particular for the use of on shore powerfor ship operators of container and passenger ships, including operators of ro-ro passenger ships, high speed passenger crafts and cruise ships for the use of zero- emission technologies and in particular for on-shore power while at berth that can only be fulfilled if an adequate level of on shore power supply is deployed in TEN-Tall Union ports. However those initiatives do not contain any provisions on the required fuel infrastructure which are a prerequisite that the targets can be metfor the targets to be met. The review of Directive 2014/94/EU notes that the deployment of on-shore power supply infrastructure in ports has been limited in most Member States. Therefore, binding targets for the timely deployment of the relevant infrastructure should ensure that ship operators have sufficient shore-side electricity supply in Union maritime ports to meet the obligations set by FuelEU maritime. __________________ 48 COM(2021) 561. 49 COM(2021) 562.

(32) Shore-side electricity facilities can serve maritime and inland waterway transport asby providing clean power supply, taking into consideration the increasing share of renewables in the EU electricity mix, and contribute to reducing the environmental impact of seagoing ships and inland waterway vessels, among other things on the local air quality. Under the FuelEU maritime initiative, ship operators of container and passenger ships, including operators of ro-ro passenger ships, high speed passenger crafts and cruise ships, need to comply with the provisions to use on-shore power at berth to reduce their emissions at berth. M. Under the current framework, the expected capacity of on-shore power supply will not be sufficient to meet the increased demand of container and passenger ship operators arising from FuelEU maritime. Thus, mandatory deployment targets should ensure that the sector finds sufficient shore-side electricity supply in TEN-T core and comprehensive maritime portall Union maritime ports and in inland waterways to comply with those requirements. The application of these targets to all TEN- T maritimeUnion ports should ensure the level playing field between ports.

(33) Container ships and passenger ships, including cruise ships, being the ship categories which are producing the highest amount of emissions per ship at berth, thereby affecting local air quality, 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, cruise ships and those for other small passenger ships.

(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 takthe demand at ports and take into due account of port operational characteristics as well as grid capacity. Maritime transport is an important link for the cohesion and economic development of islands in the Union. Energy production capacity in these islands is limited 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 islands 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 cleanrenewable energy sources. Without prejudice to the exemption afforded to islands with no connection to the mainland's electricity power grid or low local capacity, Member States, in close cooperation with regional and local authorities, should address the power demand of island ports by expanding local electricity production capacity from renewable energy sources.

Recital 34 a (new)
(34a) Member States in cooperation with port operators should ensure uninterrupted grid capacity and connectivity of ports to meet the demand arising from the provision of shore-side electricity to container and passenger ships, including during peak times. These may include upgrading existing grid network close to ports as well as providing infrastructure for grid frequency conversion.

Recital 48
(48) Maritime transport and inland navigation need new standards to facilitate and consolidate the entry into the market of alternative fuels, in relation to electricity supply and hydrogen, methanol and ammonia bunkering, but also standards for communication exchange between vessels and infrastructure. With regard to shore- side electricity supply for maritime transport and inland navigation, technical specifications for the interoperability of the infrastructure across Union ports should be established. Equally, technical specifications should be set up to ensure the compatibility of equipment installed onboard with port infrastructure.

(49) The International Maritime Organization (‘IMO’) develops uniform and internationally recognised safety and environmental standards for maritime transport. Conflicts with international standards should be avoided in view of the global nature of maritime transport. Therefore, the European Union should ensure that technical specifications for maritime transport adopted pursuant to this Regulation, in particular those regarding electricity supply and ammonia bunkering, are consistent with international rules adopted by the IMO.
