Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask His Majesty's Government when ferry companies and the maritime sector will be provided with all of the technical details required for the implementation of the Emissions Trading Scheme.

The digital system for emissions monitoring and reporting includes a step-by-step process to help operators understand and meet their obligations. For at least 96% of operators, free voluntary onboarding onto this system, and free assessment of their application for an emissions monitoring plan, has been available since November 2025.

Further guidance will be published in due course. In the meantime, the UK Emissions Trading Scheme Authority and the regulators of the scheme will continue to engage with the sector, including through newsletters, question and answer documents, and videos, to support operators. Operators can also direct queries to their regulator’s helpdesk.
