Europe: maritime fleet emissions by ship type 2022

Container ships entering and leaving European Economic Area (EEA) ports emitted almost 38 million metric tons of carbon dioxide (MtCO₂) in 2022, accounting for roughly 28 percent of the EU MRV fleet's total emissions. Oil tankers followed, with emissions of 18.2 MtCO₂.

Supplementary notes

Based on emissions of the EU MRV fleet. EU-MRV is an EU regulation on the monitoring, reporting, and verification of carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions from maritime transport entering and leaving European Economic Area (EEA) ports when transporting goods or passengers for commercial purposes. For example, EU-MRV covers emissions from a ship that goes from Rotterdam to Shanghai and the emissions produced when a ship sails from Shanghai to Rotterdam. However, this excludes emissions if a ship makes a stop at another port outside the EEA for cargo or passenger operations. In this scenario, only emissions from the last leg will be reported.
