The ceasefire related to Gaza is entering its next phase, which has led to speculation that shipping lines may return to the Red Sea. However, the largest carriers remain cautious. CMA CGM is so far the only major shipping line that has concretely begun resuming certain transits through the Suez Canal and is planning limited rotations. At the same time, market participants assess that a full-scale return is still not imminent, even though the outlook is more positive than it has been for some time.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1070\" data-end=\"1098\">Update on EU Regulations<\/h2>\n<h3 data-start=\"1100\" data-end=\"1642\"><strong data-start=\"1100\" data-end=\"1109\">CBAM<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1100\" data-end=\"1642\">We would like to once again remind you that as of 1 January, the definitive CBAM phase begins, which entails new requirements for companies importing CBAM goods into the EU. If you import more than 50 tonnes of CBAM goods per calendar year, you must apply for the status of an authorised CBAM declarant to avoid import stops. If you have submitted an application by 31 March 2026, you may temporarily import goods while awaiting a decision, provided that the application is submitted before imports exceeding 50 tonnes take place.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1644\" data-end=\"2258\"><strong data-start=\"1644\" data-end=\"1656\">Omnibus<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1644\" data-end=\"2258\">The EU has now reached an agreement on the Omnibus package, which simplifies the sustainability regulations CSRD and CSDDD and reduces the administrative burden. The rules will primarily apply to very large companies: CSRD will apply to companies with at least 1,000 employees and net turnover of at least EUR 450 million, while CSDDD will only cover companies with at least 5,000 employees and EUR 1.5 billion in net turnover. As a result, many medium-sized companies are exempt and the implementation timeline is postponed, but market demands for transparency and sustainable supply chains remain.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"2260\" data-end=\"2719\"><strong data-start=\"2260\" data-end=\"2271\">EU ETS<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2260\" data-end=\"2719\">As of 1 January 2026, the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) for maritime transport will be tightened, meaning that shipping companies must cover 100% of their verified emissions, compared to 70% in 2025. The framework will also be expanded to include additional greenhouse gases. As a result of the increased requirements and higher compliance costs, emission-related surcharges will be adjusted upwards for sea transports to and from the EU.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"2721\" data-end=\"2756\">Christmas and New Year Holidays<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"2758\" data-end=\"2915\">Ahead of the upcoming holidays, we at TKL Logistics would like to take the opportunity to wish all our customers a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2917\" data-end=\"3353\">If you are shipping goods within Europe, please note that transit times are slightly longer than normal during the Christmas and New Year period. Whether for domestic or international transports, we kindly ask for your understanding regarding longer lead times during these weeks and that you ensure your consignees are open for deliveries. In this way, we can together create the best possible conditions to deliver your goods on time.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3355\" data-end=\"3788\">Christmas is a time to show care and share with others. This year, we have chosen to donate SEK 100,000 to Save the Children, where the funds will support efforts to provide more children with a safer upbringing in what is currently the world\u2019s largest ongoing refugee crisis in Sudan. The donation will also be matched by the Akelius Foundation. Together, we can make a difference and help improve living conditions for more people.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3790\" data-end=\"3799\">\u00a0<\/p>\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1750437331\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"1020\" src=\"https:\/\/tkl.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/some_kvadrat_2025__sudan_SV.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tkl.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/some_kvadrat_2025__sudan_SV.png 1080w, https:\/\/tkl.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/some_kvadrat_2025__sudan_SV-960x960.png 960w, https:\/\/tkl.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/some_kvadrat_2025__sudan_SV-480x480.png 480w, https:\/\/tkl.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/some_kvadrat_2025__sudan_SV-768x768.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_1750437331 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n<p data-start=\"3801\" data-end=\"4064\">We would also like to take this opportunity to thank all our existing and new customers for your trust.
