"Vessels which call at EU ports from ports outside the region must pay a charge equivalent to 50% of their ETS emissions charges. But by calling at a UK port like Southampton or Felixstowe first, they can pay a fraction of these fees.

MSC has launched a Britannia service, which from February when it formally launches its standalone network includes a call at Felixstowe before proceeding to Antwerp, while its Albatross service will see calls at Felixstowe and then London Gateway before Rotterdam; and Hapag-Lloyd’s expanded China Germany Express will call at Southampton first when it introduces a new port rotation in January."
