Implementation of EES surcharge with effect from January 1st, 2026

EUROPE ENVIRONMENT SURCHARGE (EES) Surcharge

Effective from January 1st, 2026

Dear Valued Customer,

Thank you for your continued support and for choosing Ocean Network Express (ONE) to cater to your needs.

Following the implementation of the Europe Environment Surcharge (EES) on January 1, 2025, we are providing an update on the quarterly tariff adjustment. The EES was introduced to align with new and evolving environmental regulatory standards. For further details, please refer to here.

Starting January 1, 2026, the European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) enters its full compliance phase. The mandatory surrender of European Union Allowances (EUAs) expands from the current 70% (2025) to 100% of verified emissions within the regulatory scope. This expansion means that emissions accounting will now include the potent greenhouse gases, methane (CH₄) and nitrous oxide (N₂O).

ONE remains fully compliant with, and strongly supportive of, the latest regulatory requirements aimed at reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and advancing a sustainable and environmentally responsible future. Read more about the EU ETS here.

We are pleased to share the applicable EES tariff for the period from January 1, 2026 to March 31, 2026. As part of our ongoing commitment to regulatory compliance and transparency, EES tariffs are reviewed quarterly, subject to change with prior notice.

This surcharge continues to apply to all contracts. You can find the specific tariff details for this
upcoming quarter below.
