This study compares four carbon intensity indicators applicable to harbor tugboats identify the most representative greenhouse gas emissions management. Using operational data from SAAM Towage’s fleet, evaluated traveled distance, operating time, energy consumption, and average engine load demand. Statistical analyses revealed that consumption-based indicator exhibited lower variability greater capacity reflect particularities of tugboats. In contrast, based on presented high dispersion, limiting their applicability. These conclusions highlight importance considering vessel-specific characteristics when selecting indicators. work provides tools improve environmental monitoring facilitates implementation sustainability strategies aligned with maritime industry’s emission reduction objectives.
