ATLANTIC ACANTHUS: CO₂ emissions 2018–2025

ATLANTIC ACANTHUS against its type

Built in 1999, it is 5 years newer than the median refrigerated cargo carrier on this register, which was built in 1994 (183 vessels with a known build year). At 9,649 gross tonnage it is smaller than 52% of the other 178 refrigerated cargo carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 96 refrigerated cargo carriers here under the Bahamas flag, 47.5% of the 202 on the register. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Nassau as port of registry.

Its 1,787 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 66% below the median of 5,190 t among the 111 refrigerated cargo carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 284.9 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 260.9 kg. It logged 440 hours at sea against a median of 1,731 hours for its type that year. 26.5% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for refrigerated cargo carriers was 3.8%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (9,230 t) and the lowest 2020 (1,107 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type was 86 in both 2018 and 2025. Of the 3 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 82 of 95 qualifying refrigerated cargo carriers by EEOI, at the 86th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 55.3; this vessel reported 78.9.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 22,647,357 tonne-miles over 6,271 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 80.6% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 50.1% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 26.4%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
