Vessel Data for Maritime Analysis

Onye Dike
Updated by Onye Dike on September 17th, 2026
The Sustainable Ships Database is a maritime vessel dataset containing detailed information on more than 10,000 ships. Developed by Sustainable Ships, it is intended for shipowners, ports, technology suppliers, consultants and other maritime professionals that need vessel-specific technical data for regulatory, decarbonization or infrastructure analysis. The database includes information such as engine specifications, vessel dimensions, flag state and ownership. Its practical value extends beyond vessel lookup: Sustainable Ships uses the data across its digital tools to produce ship-specific estimates for compliance costs and technology assessments, helping users avoid relying solely on generic assumptions or fleet averages.

Core Features

The Sustainable Ships Database provides the underlying vessel information used across several of the company's maritime analysis tools.

  • 10,000+ Vessel Records: The database contains detailed specifications for more than 10,000 vessels, giving users a sizable dataset for individual vessel and fleet-level analysis.

  • Engine Data: Records include engine information, which can support calculations involving fuel use, emissions, regulatory exposure and technology requirements.

  • Vessel Specifications: Users can access information including ship dimensions, flag state and ownership, providing both technical and organizational context for individual vessels.

  • Standardized Ship Classification: Sustainable Ships classifies vessels using a framework harmonizing IMO, EU and industry classifications. The current taxonomy contains 20 categories, 72 vessel types and 52 size bands, with every vessel assigned to a category.

  • Integration with Maritime Tools: Vessel data feeds Sustainable Ships' wider toolset, allowing calculations to be tailored to particular ships. The company specifically uses its tools and databases to provide vessel-specific estimates for EU ETS, FuelEU Maritime and CII compliance costs.

Closing Insights

The Sustainable Ships Database is best understood as a vessel-data foundation for maritime analysis, rather than simply a searchable directory of ships. Sustainable Ships combines the data with its growing collection of compliance, shore-power and decarbonization tools, allowing vessel specifications to become inputs for practical business cases. The database is regularly updated.

Interested users, from shipowners and technology suppliers to ports, consultants and maritime researchers, can access the database through a Sustainable Ships membership or purchase the Sustainable Ships Database separately for €2,999. Organizations with more specific vessel-data or analytical requirements can also contact Sustainable Ships to discuss their needs.
