Shipping emissions could be 6 x greater than previously estimated

A report published by the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research has argued that emissions from shipping could match those of aviation if all UK-related voyages are considered. UK shipping emissions to-date has been miscalculated, as only the fuel purchased at UK ports had been taken into consideration, accordingly, emissions could be up to six times higher than previously expected.
