This represents a significant economic drag for Europe.

Promoting the uptake of alternative fuels that are immediately available is appropriate, but the principal objective should remain focused on the development and introduction of zero-carbon fuels and technologies. This is imperative if we are to see the introduction of zero-emission ships in the 2030s and the achievement of EU climate objectives.
