Setting the standard?
Jumbo Offshore is fascinatingly dynamic. Besides its floating assets (the Heavy Lift Construction Vessels), the company’s core capabilities have been built on the skills of a committed team of experts.…
CLIMATE NEUTRAL
BEFORE 2050
Global shipping emissions account for approximately 3% of total global emissions. The ‘Fit for 55’ plan seeks to reduce shipping emissions by 55% before 2030. As of January 1, 2024, the EU Emissions Trading System will come into play, affecting the fleet of Jumbo Maritime and the JSI Alliance.
Jumbo Maritime is actively engaged in this effort to align with the EU’s sustainability goals and contribute to a greener and more environmentally responsible maritime sector. We are on course to carbon neutrality by 2050. In the mean time sustainability is part of many projects. We are actively contributing to the transition to wind energy.
European Emissions Trading Scheme
The European Commission has suggested incorporating ship emissions into the European Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS). Under the current policy proposal, cargo ships with a Gross Tonnage (GT) exceeding 5,000 would fall under the jurisdiction of the EU ETS, with the following geographic considerations:
• All emissions occurring between EU ports would be subject to a 100% emissions count.
• Emissions from non-EU ports to EU ports and vice versa would be subject to a 50% emissions count.
• Emissions between ports located outside the EU would be excluded from the EU ETS.
The primary objective of integrating maritime transport into the EU ETS is to address the greenhouse gas emissions generated and ensure that shipping plays its part in helping the European Union achieve its broader emission reduction targets.
There are no free allowances for shipping. Nevertheless, there will will be a 3-year phase in with 40% of emissions in 2024, 70% in 2025 and 100% in 2026.
EU ETS Formula
The EUA costs are determined by multiplying
Consumption x Emission Factor x Area x Phase-in x EUA Price
- Emission factor: 3,14
- Area: 100% intra-EU or 50% to/from EU
- Phase-in: 40% in 2024, 70% in 2025 and 100% in 2026
- EUA price: EUR 80,- (this is a variable price, subject to supply and demand).

ETS Escalation Clause for part cargoes
The freight stated in Box 15 is calculated on the basis of an Emission Allowance price of EUR xx,- per ton of carbon dioxide (CO2) on the date of the Charter Party (the “Charter Party Price”). The freight shall be adjusted on the basis of the difference, if any, between the Charter Party Price and the Emission Allowance price per ton of carbon dioxide (CO2), from the following source EU Carbon Price Tracker from [xyz] , on the date of completion of loading (the “Bill of Lading/GENWAYBILL Price”).
For each EUR 5, whereby the Bill of Lading/GENWAYBILL Price is higher than the Charter Party Price, the Carrier shall increase the freight by 0,25 percent.
ETS Escalation Clause for sole cargoes
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Charter Party, the Carrier and the Merchant (the “Parties” and each individually a “Party”) agree as follows:
“Emission Allowances” means an allowance, credit, quota, permit or equivalent, representing a right of a vessel to emit a specified quantity of greenhouse gas emissions recognised by the Emission Scheme.
“Emission Scheme” means a greenhouse gas emissions trading scheme which for the purposes of this Clause shall include the European Union Emissions Trading System and any other similar systems imposed by applicable lawful authorities that regulate the issuance, allocation, trading or surrendering of Emission Allowances.
This Charter Party is concluded on the basis of an Emission Allowance price of EUR xxx,- per tonne of carbon dioxide (CO2) for a quantity of XXXXXXX (the “Charter Party Price”).
If the price actually paid by the Carrier for the Emission Allowance per tonne of carbon dioxide (CO2) for this quantity is higher than the Charter Party Price, then the difference between the Charter party price and the actual price shall be paid by the Merchant to the Carrier”.

Heavy Lift Shipping
has never been greener
As a global heavy lift shipping and offshore transportation & installation service provider we want to reduce the emissions of our fleet. Therefore, we have started a newbuilding programme together with SAL Heavy Lift. Together we will welcome four ultra-efficient carbon-neutral heavy lift project vessels.
These Orca class vessels are equipped with dual-fuel engines, which means that they can use methanol as an alternative fuel. If green methanol becomes available in key ports we will be able to offer customers carbon-neutral transport solutions. A stepping stone towards our environmental protection goals.
