French President Emmanuel Macron is pushing for Europe to create bunker taxes. Carbon taxes for shipping have been in the headlines a great deal of late, with one major shipper warned shipping it should begin to prepare for a carbon levy. Macron will hold a summit with Germany’s Angela Merkel and leading European business conglomerates to discuss innovation. Other European politicians are also assessing shipping’s carbon footprint, including Norway’s prime minister, who recently urged the industry to pursue a more urgent, swift decarbonisation, warning regulators are going to get far tougher on the industry soon.
