Asia to Mediterranean
Asia to Mediterranean, 1 TEU
Vessel | Carrier surcharge | Lune estimate | Difference |
---|---|---|---|
EVER Top | € 23.00 | € 18.57 | 124 % |
CGA CGM Galapagos | € 20.00 | € 10.18 | 196 % |
COSCO Nebula | € 19.00 | € 8.94 | 213 % |
The EVER Top is in service between East Asia and the Mediterranean, via The Cape due to the Red Sea crisis.
Our estimate includes 50% of CO₂ emissions produced between Singapore and Piraeus, plus 100% emissions between Piraeus and Genoa, as required by ETS.
The takeaway
Carriers overcharge 2–3×: every carrier charges more than the EU ETS surcharge should be, according to Lune’s estimates.
Charging €5–20 extra per TEU seems marginal, especially considering the total cost of the shipment. However, it adds up!
For example:
What is the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS)?
What are European Union Allowances (EUAs)?
I've already offset my emissions, will they still need to be covered by EUAs?
Does the EU ETS include maritime shipping?
Who's responsible for reporting emissions and surrendering allowances?
What are EU ETS surcharges?
How do carriers calculate the EU ETS surcharge?
How does Lune estimate the ETS cost incurred by carriers?
How will the EU ETS scheme change in the future?
