Abstract
Climate change and global warming phenomena are taking up more and more space in our lives and their negative consequences are becoming more evident day by day. For a more livable planet and future, certain responsibilities fall on the maritime sector as well as on all parties. Ships, with their gigantic machinery that consumes fossil fuels, generate significant amounts of greenhouse gases. The International Maritime Organization aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from ships with various sanctions and expects ships to meet the relevant criteria. Ship operators and ship-owners have also started to show sensitivity to the issues of energy efficiency and greenhouse gas emission reduction in order to reduce both the sanctions of international organizations within the scope of climate change and fuel costs. In this context, by focusing on container operators, this study aims to reveal the current situation of ship companies in these matters and to find out the correlation between average fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emission amounts and operator size. The findings show that the average fuel consumption per fleet capacity is related to the size of the operator, pointing to the importance of capacity utilization.
