0064 E.R. KOBE: CO₂ emissions 2018–2021

0064 E.R. KOBE against its type

Built in 2001, it is 7 years older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 66,058 gross tonnage it is larger than 60% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 976 container ships here under the Liberia flag, 27.9% of the 3,495 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 563 other vessels here, 243 of them container ships. Zeaborn Ship Management is linked to 56 vessels on this register. Its MRV returns name it E.R. KOBE for 2018, 0064 E.R. KOBE for 2020 and GSL DOROTHEA for 2021. The returns for 2020–2021 all give Monrovia as port of registry.

Its 16,953 t of CO₂ for 2021 is close to the median of 16,246 t among the 1,825 container ships on this register that reported for 2021. Per nautical mile it emitted 851.5 kg CO₂, 1.5 times the type median of 562.2 kg. It logged 1,207 hours at sea against a median of 2,808 hours for its type that year. 3.2% of its 2021 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.9%. Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 52 in 2020 to 57 in 2021 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2021 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2021

Position 891 of 1,557 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 57th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 16.2; this vessel reported 18.6.

Across the 43 ranked vessels operated by Zeaborn Ship Management, the median percentile is 45. This vessel is less efficient than its own fleet median.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 913,407,866 tonne-miles over 19,910 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2021 was 61.3% lower than in 2020, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, so the series has gaps.

From 2020 to 2021, emissions fell 61.3% while distance sailed fell 71.0%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 33.6%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
