AMIRA SOPHIE against its type
Built in 2011, it is 1 year older than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 17,025 gross tonnage it is smaller than 95% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 127 bulk carriers here under the Barbados flag, 1.6% of the 8,138 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 59 other vessels here, 57 of them bulk carriers. Its MRV returns name it WESTGATE for 2018–2019 and AMIRA SOPHIE for 2020–2021. The reported port of registry changed: Monrovia (2018–2019), then Bridgetown (2020–2021).
Its 3,735 t of CO₂ for 2021 is close to the median of 3,945 t among the 3,342 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2021. Per nautical mile it emitted 196.5 kg CO₂, 33% below the type median of 291.9 kg. It logged 1,629 hours at sea against a median of 1,190 hours for its type that year. 3.8% of its 2021 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.8%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2020 (3,855 t) and the lowest 2018 (1,247 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 85 in 2019 to 77 in 2021 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2021 return reported a higher or equal CO₂ per nautical mile.
