"I abstained from voting because shipping’s competitiveness may be reduced and not all shipowners may have the financial capacity to introduce the measures planned. The opinions of shipowners and equipment suppliers differ regarding the availability and reliability of scrubbers. In addition, everyone would wonder whether the new deadline might be postponed once more. This would further undermine investment in this technology. Those considering using LNG are faced with a chicken and egg situation: shipowners do not want to equip vessels so that they can use LNG without an assurance that supplies will be available in sufficient ports, while ports are equally reluctant to invest in view of uncertainties about demand. In spite of all these doubts, I welcome the provision that it is essential to find means of reducing ship emissions in many Member States because only then will we be able to contribute to improving air quality."@en1
