The British Ports Association has challenged analysis linking growth in UK container activity to the European Union’s Emissions Trading System, according to Splash247.

The association argues that additional terminal capacity and changes to liner networks offer other explanations. It also questions whether TEU-miles establish why traffic patterns changed.

Splash247 places the dispute alongside proposed EU measures on port calls and emissions accounting. The report describes those measures as proposals and says the association wants the evidence reassessed.
