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.

In 2024, container ships accounted for almost ** percent of carbon dioxide emissions from maritime transportation entering and leaving European Economic Area (EEA) ports. Combined, container ships, bulk carriers, and oil tankers were responsible for more than half of the EU MRV fleet's total emissions in 2024. The most polluting vessel in Europe that year was the Cruise Barcelona Ro-pax ship.
