If your company in the Netherlands supplies fuel oil for propulsion to seagoing vessels, from 2026, this will only be permitted if you are registered with the Human Environment and Transport Inspectorate (ILT). You must submit details of your fuel oil deliveries to the ILT every quarter.
Register and submit delivery data
From 2026 onwards, marine fuel oil suppliers for seagoing vessels in the European Union (EU) will be required to use renewable energy. The brandstoftransitieverplichting zeevaart (fuel transition requirement for seagoing vessels, in Dutch) aims to reduce the transport sector’s impact on the climate. This has been laid down in the EU’s Renewable Energy Directive (REDIII). The Nederlandse Emmisieautoriteit, NEa (Dutch Emissions Authority) oversees this in the Netherlands. As the oversight authority for shipping in the Netherlands, the ILT is responsible for registering and collecting delivery data required by the directive.
