0092 E.R. TIANSHAN: CO₂ emissions 2018–2021

0092 E.R. TIANSHAN against its type

Built in 2006, it is 2 years older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 91,649 gross tonnage it is larger than 72% 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 461 other vessels here, 155 of them container ships. Zeaborn Ship Management is linked to 56 vessels on this register. Its MRV returns name it E.R. TIANSHAN for 2018, 0092 E.R. TIANSHAN for 2019–2020 and MSC TIANSHAN for 2021. The returns for 2019–2021 all give Monrovia as port of registry.

Its 11,405 t of CO₂ for 2021 is 30% below the median of 16,246 t among the 1,825 container ships on this register that reported for 2021. Per nautical mile it emitted 872.7 kg CO₂, 1.6 times the type median of 562.2 kg. It logged 865 hours at sea against a median of 2,808 hours for its type that year. 3.8% of its 2021 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.9%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2020 (45,836 t) and the lowest 2021 (11,405 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 27 in 2019 to 40 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 622 of 1,557 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 40th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 16.2; this vessel reported 14.0.

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

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 813,480,742 tonne-miles over 13,068 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2021 was 42.0% lower than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2020 to 2021, emissions fell 75.1% while distance sailed fell 76.7%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 6.7%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
