Also known as

The document is a comprehensive report from the European Commission detailing CO2 emissions from maritime transport for the year 2023, following the EU Maritime MRV Regulation. It outlines the scope and objectives of the regulation, which mandates monitoring and reporting of emissions from ships over 5,000 gross tonnage operating in the European Economic Area (EEA), and highlights key findings such as a 7.9% reduction in emissions compared to 2022, driven by decreased maritime activity due to geopolitical factors. The report also discusses the implementation of the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) for maritime transport, which will begin in 2024, aiming to further decarbonize the shipping sector.AI
