No Red Diesel for Northern Ireland Boaters

No Red Diesel for Northern Ireland Boaters
5th March 2021
Northern Ireland recreational boaters will no longer be able to use red diesel for propelling their craft.
This is despite the British Chancellor Rishi Sunak announcing on Wednesday, as Afloat reported here, that UK sailors will still be able to use red diesel to propel their vessels.
The reason behind the NI omission of course is to ensure the UK meets its international obligations under the Northern Ireland Protocol of the Withdrawal Agreement following Brexit.
Last year, the UK Government announced it would remove the subsidy on red diesel from April 2022, although boaters would still be able to use subsidised fuel for heating onboard.
