BRUSSELS — The European Commission has expanded the list of exceptions under the FuelEU Maritime regulations, granting reprieves to key ports in France, Spain, and Portugal, in addition to the previously announced exemptions for Italy, Greece, and Malta. The FuelEU Maritime initiative aims to reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) intensity of energy used by ships and promote the use of on-shore power supply (OPS) or zero-emission technology in EU ports, aligning with the EU’s climate neutrality goal by 2050.
