ECSA European Shipowners and Airlines for Europe (A4E) have once again urged the European Commission (EC) as well as national governments to “ensure bold action “ to speed up the availability of affordable clean maritime and aviation fuels and support production in Europe.

As ECSA has reiterated in its call to the commission, the EC’s Sustainable Transport Investment Plan (STIP) needs to be “ambitious” and it must establish strong commitments and concrete steps in order to make environmentally friendly fuels more widely available for hard-to-decarbonize sectors like maritime transport.
