Shipping emissions reported for 2023
12,594 vessels in this register reported under EU MRV for the 2023 reporting period.
- Total CO₂
- 127.7 Mt
- Vessels reporting
- 12,594
- Fuel burned
- 41.2 Mt
- CO₂ at berth
- 8.22 Mt
- Median EEOI
- 12.3
Compared with 2022, total reported CO₂ fell by 6.4%, and the number of vessels reporting fell by 4.2%. Both figures are affected by which ships fell under the reporting obligation that year, not by fleet activity alone.

Absolute emissions track how much work a ship did, not how efficiently it did it. A large container vessel on continuous service will out-emit a small tanker that sat idle, without being the worse performer. Efficiency is measured by EEOI, which is shown on each vessel page.
