ANVIL POINT against its type

Built in 2003, it is 1 year newer than the median ro-ro ship on this register, which was built in 2002 (281 vessels with a known build year). At 23,235 gross tonnage it is larger than 56% of the other 269 ro-ro ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 8 ro-ro ships here under the United Kingdom flag, 2.6% of the 311 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 5 other vessels here, one of them a ro-ro ship. The returns for 2018–2023 all give london as port of registry.

Its 8,644 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 62% below the median of 22,994 t among the 234 ro-ro ships on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 279.6 kg CO₂, 16% below the type median of 333.6 kg. It logged 2,636 hours at sea against a median of 5,172 hours for its type that year. 0.8% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for ro-ro ships was 4.3%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2020 (15,623 t) and the lowest 2022 (6,179 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 100 in 2018 to 98 in 2019 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2023 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 43.9% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2022 to 2023, emissions rose 39.9% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 4.6%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
