Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 1.7% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 82.9% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 3.2%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
