AUCKLAND SPIRIT against its type

Built in 2003, it is 4 years older than the median general cargo ship on this register, which was built in 2007 (2,852 vessels with a known build year). At 19,883 gross tonnage it is larger than 78% of the other 2,665 general cargo ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 23 general cargo ships here under the Vanuatu flag, 0.7% of the 3,081 on the register. Its MRV returns name it AUCKLAND SPIRIT for 2020 and KAPADOKYA for 2023–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Majuro (2020), then Bridgetown (2024), then Port Vila (2025).

Its 2,177 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 23% below the median of 2,820 t among the 2,469 general cargo ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 248.2 kg CO₂, 2.0 times the type median of 122.2 kg. It logged 958 hours at sea against a median of 3,044 hours for its type that year. 0.7% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for general cargo ships was 4.3%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2020 (3,518 t) and the lowest 2023 (1,025 t). Of the 3 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 3 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2023

Position 158 of 331 qualifying general cargo ships by EEOI, at the 48th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 21.1; this vessel reported 20.7.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 49,522,958 tonne-miles over 3,463 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 38.1% lower than in 2020, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2021, 2022, so the series has gaps.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 64.3% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 13.4%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.

Sources and how to read this

This page draws on 4 MRV reporting years, an efficiency ranking, 4 of 5 vessel particulars and a name history. Not found in the sources for this vessel: AIS movements in Norwegian waters, a licensed photograph, a sanctions listing and US port state inspections.

Empty means unreported, never zero. How EEOI, distance, percentiles and sister ships are handled is explained under reading a vessel page. Something wrong? See corrections.
