The European Commission has published Italy’s exemptions under the FuelEU Maritime Regulation (EU 2023/1805), which promotes renewable and low-carbon fuels in maritime transport.
Italy will exempt:
- Ports on small islands (see list here).
- Ships and routes under public service contracts or obligations, operating between mainland ports before the regulation took effect.
These exemptions are based on information submitted by Italy to the Commission.
