This also makes business sense. I just bought ferry tickets to Tallinn from Tallink, and an emissions fee of €5.30 was added to the ticket price. This is quite a lot, considering the cheapest tickets were otherwise €15-€20. Furthermore, currently, emissions trading only applies to carbon dioxide emissions from maritime transport. In 2026, emissions trading will expand to include methane and nitrogen emissions in shipping. Additionally, carbon dioxide emissions have been phased in, so they will only be fully implemented in 2026.
