Built this to explore THETIS-MRV, the EU's public ship emissions database. Around 12,000 vessels per year, 2018-2024. Each dot is a vessel positioned at its flag state.
The interesting pattern: the biggest clusters aren't where the shipping companies are. They're in Panama, Liberia, and the Marshall Islands, the world's largest open registries.
2024 is the first year ships had to pay for their carbon emissions under EU law. You can switch between CO₂ total, EU ETS cost, and ship type views.

The navigation is broken on this for me. If I zoom in, the mouse panning is still at the zoomed out level. I mean I have to move the mouse increasingly accurately and in small increments as I zoom in, as though I'm still panning the zoomed-out map. And the zoomed-out map itself is not exactly fluid.
