The Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading Scheme (Amendment) (Extension to Maritime Activities) Order 2026

(45A) (1) The regulator must make a determination of emissions of a maritime operator that fails to submit a report of its maritime emissions (the “annual emissions report”) in accordance with paragraph 14 of Schedule 2A. (2) Where a verifier states in a verification report under paragraph 59 of Schedule 2A that there are non-material misstatements in the annual emissions report of the maritime operator that have not been corrected by the maritime operator before the verification report is issued— (a) the regulator must— (i) assess the misstatements; (ii) if the regulator considers it appropriate, make a determination of emissions of the maritime operator; (iii) give notice to the maritime operator as to whether or not corrections are required to the annual emissions report and, if corrections are required, set out the corrections in the notice; and (b) the maritime operator must make the information referred to in sub-paragraph (a)(iii) available to the verifier. (3) The regulator may make a determination of emissions of the maritime operator if the regulator considers that the determination of maritime emissions is necessary for the purpose of imposing, or considering whether to impose, a civil penalty until article 47. (4) A regulator who makes a determination under this article must give notice of the determination to the maritime operator or the person on whom the civil penalty referred to in paragraph (3) may be imposed. (5) A notice of a determination of maritime emissions determines for the purposes of this Order (including for calculating a civil penalty under article 47) the maritime operator’s maritime emissions for the period to which the determination relates. (6) Where, after making a determination under this article (including a rectified determination of emissions, or a further rectified determination of emissions, made under this paragraph), the regulator considers that there is an error in the determination, the regulator must— (a) withdraw any notice of the determination given under paragraph (4); (b) make a rectified determination; and (c) give notice of the rectified determination in accordance with paragraph (4), and paragraph (5) applies to a notice of the rectified determination as it does to the notice of the previous determination. (7) The obligation to give notice of a rectified determination under paragraph (6)(c) does not apply where that person was not a maritime operator in the scheme year to which the determination relates. (8) For the purposes of this article, emissions must be determined on the basis of a set of assumptions designed to ensure that no under-estimation occurs. (45B) (1) For the purposes of this article, the emissions figure for surrender is the maritime operator’s maritime emissions less its surrender deduction in the scheme year to which the determination relates. (2) The regulator must make a determination of a maritime operator’s emissions figure for surrender in a scheme year where— (a) a maritime operator entitled to a surrender deduction failed to calculate the surrender deduction in its annual emissions report correctly or at all; or (b) the maritime operator’s surrender deduction has been altered as a result of a determination of maritime emissions under article 45A. (3) A regulator who makes a determination under this article must give a notice of determination of the emissions figure for surrender to the maritime operator. (4) A notice of a determination of emissions figure for surrender determines for the purposes of this Order (including for calculating a civil penalty under article 47) the maritime operator’s maritime emissions less the surrender deduction for the period to which the determination relates. (5) Where, after making a determination under this article (including a rectified determination, or a further rectified determination, made under this paragraph), the regulator considers that there is an error in the determination, the regulator must— (a) withdraw any notice of the determination given under paragraph (3); (b) make a rectified determination; and (c) give notice of the rectified determination in accordance with paragraph (3), and paragraph (4) applies to a notice of the rectified determination as it does to the notice of the previous determination. (6) The obligation to give notice of a rectified determination under paragraph (5)(c) does not apply where that person was not a maritime operator in the scheme year to which the determination relates.

Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The United Kingdom Emissions Trading Scheme (the “UK ETS”) was established by the Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading Scheme Order 2020 (the “UK ETS Order”). The purpose of the UK ETS is to limit, or to encourage the limitation of, the emission of greenhouse gases from certain activities during the ten “scheme years” beginning in 2021. Operators of certain industrial installations and certain aircraft operators are required to monitor, report on, and surrender “allowances” equivalent to, their greenhouse gas emissions in each scheme year. This Order expands the coverage of the UK ETS to include greenhouse gas emissions from certain maritime activities.

The effect is to require operators of certain ships arriving at ports of call in the United Kingdom to obtain an “emissions monitoring plan” (to document the processes through which it will ascertain the greenhouse gas emissions associated with the maritime activities of its ships) and, for each scheme year, to monitor, independently verify, and report to the regulator its maritime emissions, and to surrender a level of allowances equivalent to those maritime emissions.

This Order inserts Schedule 2A into the UK ETS Order and amends the Order to provide as follows—

Part 1 of Schedule 2A to the UK ETS Order contains at paragraph 2 definitions that are used in the Schedule.

Paragraph 3 defines the “maritime operator”, the entity responsible for compliance in respect of a ship.

Paragraph 4 outlines the requirement to provide notification of a change of responsibility.

Paragraph 5 lists ships to which Schedule 2A applies.

Paragraph 6 provides the meaning of “port of call”.

Paragraph 7 provides the meaning of “maritime activity”.

Paragraph 8 lists activities excluded from scope.

Paragraph 9 provides for the making of applications for emissions monitoring plans.

Paragraph 10 outlines how these applications are to be considered by the regulator.

Paragraph 11 provides for refusal of an application for an emissions monitoring plan.

Paragraph 12 provides for variations to emissions monitoring plans.

Paragraph 13 applies an obligation to undertake monitoring of maritime emissions in accordance with Part 4 of Schedule 2A.

Paragraph 14 outlines the requirements around reporting such emissions, through an annual emissions report and sets out the requirement on verification of the annual emissions report.

Paragraph 15 sets out the requirement of maritime operators to surrender allowances.

Paragraph 16 outlines maritime monitoring and reporting principles.

Part 3 of Schedule 2A outlines the content to be included in an emissions monitoring plan.

Part 4 of Schedule 2A provides for the methods through which to determine maritime emissions.

Part 5 of Schedule 2A provides for data management and control.

Part 6 of Schedule 2A provides the formulae with which to calculate maritime emissions.

Part 7 of Schedule 2A outlines the content to be included in the annual emissions report.

Part 8 of Schedule 2A contains details on verification and accreditation.

Part 9 of Schedule 2A contains details on the determination of values for emission factors.

Schedule 2 of this Order contains consequential amendments to the UK ETS Order, as required for the functioning of the maritime regime within the existing UK ETS structure. This includes adding maritime activities to the scope of the scheme (see paragraph 5 amending article 16), clarifying the meaning of regulator in relation to maritime operators (see paragraphs 3 and 4 amending article 9 and inserting article 13A), and disapplying for the purposes of the maritime regime the Monitoring and Reporting Regulation 2018 and Verification Regulation 2018 (see paragraphs 8 and 9). Paragraph 10 amends article 35 to enable regulatory charging in respect of the maritime regime, and paragraphs 11 to 16 amend Part 7 (Enforcement) of the UK ETS Order to extend this to maritime.

An impact assessment of the effect that this expansion of the UK ETS will have on the costs of business, and on the public sector, is available from the Industrial Decarbonisation and Emissions Trading Directorate, Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, 3-8 Whitehall, London, SW1A 2JP, and is available alongside the instrument on www.legislation.gov.uk.
