European shipowners are calling on the European Union to bring in targets for fuel suppliers to ensure low and zero-carbon fuels become available in shipping markets.

The European Community Shipowners’ Association (ECSA) has asked the European Commission to introduce sub-targets to make low-carbon and zero-carbon fuels available.

Martin Dorsman, secretary general of the European Community Shipowners' Association, says there is a need to incentivise energy efficiency improvements.
