EU shipping emissions rose in 2025. The ships did not emit more. The reported increase comes entirely from vessels that entered the reporting rules in 2025; follow the same ships through both years and emissions fell. Below the CO₂ line, methane rose sharply as LNG dual fuel ships reached the water, and from 2026 that methane becomes billable, pushing the maritime EU ETS bill toward 100 million allowances. For owners and charterers, the headline MRV number is only the starting point. The exposure sits behind it.

Providing actionable emissions insight to decision-makers will promote carbon efficient decisions and drive industry decarbonisation.
Chaotic mailboxes, missing attachments, reports in different formats and constant status meetings to regain control. If any of the above describes your current CO2 reporting process, you will probably benefit from implementing a managed emissions reporting service.
