(3)Regulation (EU) 2023/957 of the European Parliament and of the Councilnote amended Regulation (EU) 2015/757, notably to provide for the inclusion of greenhouse gas emissions from offshore ships within the scope of that Regulation from 1 January 2025. However, clarifying the term ‘offshore ships’ is necessary to ensure a uniform application with regards to the determination of the greenhouse gas emissions covered by the Regulation beyond those already covered when related to ships’ movements and activities serving the purpose of transporting cargo or passengers for commercial purposes. Rules should therefore be established in order to provide clarity in respect of the ships and the greenhouse gas emissions that should be encompassed by such inclusion. The ship’s statutory certifications or any other relevant documentation, including class notations, should be taken into consideration with a view to determine whether the concerned ship is designed or certified to perform service activities offshore or at offshore installations.
