UK ETS Maritime went live on 1 July 2026. Carriers are already surcharging shippers and forwarders on fleet averages, buffered on top. That gap between what your voyages actually emit and what your carrier bills is recoverable, if you have the data to audit it.

In this BIFA member session, our VP Sales Jocelyn Hansen walks through what UK ETS covers, how it differs from EU ETS, and how forwarders can audit the surcharges lane by lane, invoice by invoice.

What you will take away:

\- Why carrier UK ETS surcharges are built on fleet averages, and where the buffer hides

\- How to check the scope before you audit the amount, so you do not dispute charges the scope rules cannot support

\- What an auditable pass-through model looks like in your quotes and contracts (Clause 20 friendly)

\- The four routes to actually recover the gap: dispute before payment, next tender leverage, the scope claim, and the year-end true-up
