The globalizing world naturally causes an increase in transportation activities. Reasons such as technological developments, increasing demands and globalization bring acceleration in transportation and production activities. With the increase in the use of vehicles and machinery, there is an increase in the damage to the environment, especially due to the use of fossil fuels. The fact that the damage to the environment reaches irreparable levels necessitates taking precautions. Fossil fuels are the main cause of emissions from ships in maritime transport. Reducing the cruising speed of the ship, using the fuel type that causes less emission, increasing energy efficiency, and making a weather-dependent cruise plan are the solutions to reduce emissions. The EEOI method is a calculation method that allows ships that are currently on their way to work more efficiently while giving less damage to the environment. In this study, the CO2 emissions of 30 ships are calculated with the EEOI method and compared with the fuel types used in the ships. In the study, it is seen that the preferred fuel type for ships is directly related to carbon emissions. It is recommended that new studies be renewed for different ship types in order to contribute to science.
