In 2023, Singapore led with 74.67 MMT of CO2 emissions from marine fuel, marking a modest 1.74% increase from the previous year. Hong Kong followed at 33.98 MMT. Belgium, Jamaica, and the Netherlands showed contrasting trends with Jamaica experiencing an annual increase of 18.8%, highlighting dynamic regional variations. Over the past five years, several countries recorded the decline in emissions, such as Oman and Trinidad and Tobago, suggesting shifts in fuel use patterns. South Korea and other Nordic countries reported growth, evidenced by Sweden’s 9.21% rise, underscoring evolving maritime emission scenarios.
Looking ahead, emerging policies targeting emission reductions, advancements in maritime technology, and shifts to alternative fuels will significantly influence future CO2 emission trends in marine bunkers. Close monitoring of regulatory impacts and technological adaptations will be essential for understanding evolving global maritime emissions.
