The reduction is primarily a result to fewer ships docking in 2023 compared to 2022

The reduction is primarily a result to fewer ships docking in 2023 compared to 2022. The calculation for 2021 was incomplete as it did not include the purchase of electricity during drydocking, making it not fully comparable.

The increase in scope 3 in respect to 2022 is due to a change in reporting approach. More information about the scope 3 emissions is found in table on page 79

Calculations include 30 vessels. The reduction from 2022 is due to a slight variance in fuel consumption. The Nitrogen oxides emissions is calculated with a NOx factor provided by the Norwegian Maritime Authority
