Changes to the ETS Surcharge for transports to and from Finland

Due to an increase in the ETS (Emissions Trading System) fees charged by ferry companies, we need to raise our ETS Surcharge for transports to and from Finland, effective from October 1, 2024. The change, however, only applies to Finnish transports to/from Jutland and Funen.

As you may know, the surcharge is dependent on the ferry companies' costs for purchasing CO2 quotas according to their ferry routes. These quotas serve as compensation for the emissions generated by their operations.

When ETS enters phase 2 on January 1, 2025, the percentage of their emissions that ferry companies must compensate through quota purchases will increase from the current 40% to 70%. This planned increase will result in a new regulation of our ETS Surcharge, which will come into effect at the beginning of next year. We will announce the regulation in our newsletter and here under "Local News" as soon as we know the actual impact on our costs.
