Indeed. Shipping was left out of the Paris agreement but that's a mistake see http://oecdinsights.org/2016/05/04/carbon-emissions-all-at-s... here

Interesting historial fact: the reason the USA was able to engage the Japanese relatively quick after Pearl Harbor is because the shit bunker fuel ships use doesn't burn easily at all so the ship fuel reserves were left intact.

By my accounting it comes out to 1.7-1.8% of global CO2 and even that article says it's ~3%. That's pretty negligible in the scheme of things
