  "summary": "Interferry, the global trade association representing the ferry industry, has welcomed the European Commission's proposed revision of the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS), which presents significant potential to accelerate maritime decarbonization. However, the association stresses the importance of accessible onshore power infrastructure and reliable grid connections through Member State obligations and robust funding mechanisms for this transition. Interferry strongly supports the proposal's alignment with the sector's strategy to decarbonize through financially sustainable electrification of ports and vessels, but it emphasizes that expanding hybrid and battery-electric ferry operations depends on EU passenger ports fulfilling their legal obligations to provide onshore power supply (OPS).",
