AQUILA II: CO₂ emissions 2018–2020

AQUILA II against its type

Built in 2004, it is 6 years older than the median oil tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (2,896 vessels with a known build year). At 80,620 gross tonnage it is larger than 71% of the other 2,841 oil tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 215 oil tankers here under the Greece flag, 6.1% of the 3,548 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 983 other vessels here, 270 of them oil tankers. The returns for 2018–2020 all give Piraeus as port of registry.

Its 11,761 t of CO₂ for 2020 is 35% above the median of 8,732 t among the 1,884 oil tankers on this register that reported for 2020. Per nautical mile it emitted 495.6 kg CO₂, 17% above the type median of 424.6 kg. It logged 2,134 hours at sea against a median of 1,939 hours for its type that year. 4.8% of its 2020 emissions were at berth; the median for oil tankers was 8.6%. Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 44 in 2018 to 68 in 2020 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2020 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2020

Position 1,169 of 1,708 qualifying oil tankers by EEOI, at the 68th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 8.7; this vessel reported 11.5.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 1,022,658,261 tonne-miles over 23,728 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2020 was 36.7% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, so the series has gaps.

From 2018 to 2020, emissions fell 36.7% while distance sailed fell 15.2%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 25.3%.That points mainly to how efficiently it sailed, rather than the other.
