In 2021, the share of the EU MRV fleet's total CO₂ emissions from intra-EEA voyages (voyages between EEA countries) dropped to 26 percent, compared to 30 percent in 2020. This reduction was largely driven by the UK's withdrawal from the EU, as voyages between the UK and EEA countries are no longer considered intra-EEA voyages. Emissions at berth (where ships stay in ports) account for the smallest share of the fleet's emissions, and have remained stable since 2018.

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.
*Without United Kingdom As a consequence of the UK withdrawal from the EU, voyages between the UK and an EEA country are no longer considered intra-EEA voyages but rather extra-EEA voyages.
