Disclaimer. Distances are estimates computed with the open-source searoute model on a simplified sea network. Actual routes depend on traffic separation schemes, draft, weather and canal transits; our estimates are typically within 1–3% of NGA Pub. 151 on long routes and can be further off on short ones. EU ETS results use the default emission factors of the EU MRV Regulation for fossil fuels and leave out biofuels and e-fuels, the derogations for outermost regions, small islands and public service contracts, and the rules for offshore ships and ships below 5,000 GT. The allowance price is a snapshot, not a quote. Surrender obligations are based on verified emissions reported under EU MRV. ShipCalc results are for planning and information only. They are not navigational, commercial, legal or regulatory advice. Always verify against official sources before making decisions.
