Clean shipping at the Port of Amsterdam
06 May 2021
Since 2011, the Port of Amsterdam has provided discounts for vessels listed in the ESI with a point score of 25 or higher. The maximum incentive equals a 6-10% discount per call and is double for vessels that use LNG for their main or auxiliary engine. Over 30% of ships entering the port last year received a discount based on the ESI point score. Furthermore, inland vessels with a Green Award certificate are also granted discounts, from 5% for a ‘bronze’ certificate up to 20% for a ‘platinum certificate’. Further discounts are already in place for vessels that report their emissions at berth. In this way, Amsterdam facilitates both emissions reduction and the monitoring needed to ensure evidence-based policies going forward.
