This paper presents research results on CO2 emissions originating from maritime vessels with various main engine settings. The impact (i.e., the volume and amount) of gas emissions into the environment is shown, along with the characteristics of the marine fuel used. This research was carried out on a container vessel sailing on a fixed route between Rotterdam and St. Petersburg. It covered mainly two different engine operations, at 124 RPM and 100 RPM settings, in the Kiel Canal area. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that the engine setting of 100 RPM compared to the same voyage through the Kiel Canal, with an engine setting of 124 RPM, leads to a significant reduction of CO2 emissions. Though proving such a thesis seems to be evident, the analysis in the paper shows that, in practice, mainly due to time constraints and engineers’ assumptions of engine technical status, the higher speeds are still preferred over lower ones. In studies not related to passive use or active methods, only specific and simplest methods of obtaining CO2 emissions are presented.
