The COVID_CO2_ferries dataset stems from variables of the THETIS-MRV and IHS Markit datasets. They are described in the manuscript referenced below in "Additional Resources".

Meaning of the variables in the COVID_CO2_ferries dataset:

number	name	meaning	units
1	IMOn	IMO number (Vessel unique identifier)	-
2	Eber	Per-ship CO2 emissions at berth	ton
3	Etot	Per-ship total CO2 emissions	ton
4	Dom	Sea Basin (NOR, BAL, MED)	-
5	COVID	dummy variable (true in 2020)	-
6	year	year of CO2 emissions	-
7	Pme	Total power of main engines	0/1
8	LOA	Length over all	0/1
9	nPax	Passenger carrying capacity	0/1
10	yearB	year of building	0/1
11	nCalls	Per-ship number of port calls	-
12	VType	Vessel type (see defining Eq. below)	-

The variables with binary values (0/1 in the "units" column) refer to below (0) or above (1) the thresholds defined by:

\(k\)	\(\varphi_k\)	\(\varphi_{k0}\)	units
0	Pme	21,600	kW
1	nPax	1,250	-
2	LOA	174	m
3	yearB	1999	-

The VType variable is defined by:

\(\texttt{VType} = \sum_{k=0}^{3} \, 2^{k} \cdot H(\varphi_{k} - \varphi_{k0}) \)
