Despite being one of the most efficient modes of transport, shipping is a major contributor to
global greenhouse gas emissions, with the main one being carbon dioxide. For the last years
policies aiming to reduce these emissions have been developed, both at a global and an EU
level, and targets have been set towards a sustainable net-zero maritime sector by 2050. This
thesis presents policy measures that have been taken towards greening the sector and improving
the fleet’s energy efficiency. It focuses on the EU’s efforts to monitor CO2 emissions by
implementing the EU MRV system and it analyses data from the public THETIS MRV database
in order to develop trends that have been formed over the years 2018 to 2022. The purpose of
this thesis is to contribute to the ongoing discussions on achieving a sustainable decarbonised
maritime sector, while based on the findings of this analysis, it identifies several issues such as
the need for cooperation and sharing knowledge, investing in innovative technology and
ensuring a just, viable and reality-based transition.
