Ship Emissions & Retrofit Radar
Ships ranked by AER (Annual Efficiency Ratio) — grams of CO₂ emitted per tonne of deadweight carried one nautical mile (g CO₂/dwt·nm), the IMO carbon-intensity metric behind the CII rating — from official EU MRV emissions data for reporting year 2025. Lower is greener. Pick a segment and size class to see the greenest vessels first.

Retrofit measure library
Reduction ranges are vendor/literature claims until our measured-outcome dataset replaces them — the confidence flag on every tile says which.
Which engines power the greenest fleets?
The main engine is the single largest CO₂ source on board — typically well over 80% of a ship's emissions come from propulsion. We aggregated this ranking the other way around: every engine design is scored by the measured carbon intensity of the vessels carrying it, licensee-built units merged under their design brand. The verdict from the 2025 data — modern dual-fuel designs like MAN B&W's ME-GI and WinGD's X-DF families, together with EGR/SCR-abated and ultra-long-stroke G-type engines, consistently power the most emission-friendly ships in service.
CO₂ efficiency rankings — the evidence layer under the radar
Every vessel ranked by measured AER within its segment and size class, from official EU MRV emissions data. This ranking is what the CII bands above are computed from.
Methodology & coverage
Denominator per segment: Bulk Carrier (DWT), Container Ship (DWT/—), Oil Tanker (DWT), Chemical Tanker (DWT), Gas Carrier (DWT), LNG Carrier (DWT), General Cargo (DWT), Vehicle Carrier (GT), Refrigerated Cargo (DWT), Ro-Ro Cargo (GT).
Measure data confidence: 18 vendor claim — reduction ranges are claims until measured outcomes replace them.
Documented assumptions: CII rating boundaries applied inclusively (ratio ≤ dᵢ; G4 is silent); voyage distances are great-circle; dock windows derive from a class-expiry model, not bookings; no berth-slot availability data exists.
Coefficients: MEPC.353(78), MEPC.354(78), MEPC.400(83) — config version 2229a18fc976cde4.
Source: EU MRV (Regulation (EU) 2015/757), the EU system for Monitoring, Reporting and Verification of CO₂ emissions from ships calling at EEA ports. Operational intensity reflects real reported voyages, not just design efficiency.
