BALTIC HEATHER against its type
Built in 1998, it is 4 years newer than the median refrigerated cargo carrier on this register, which was built in 1994 (183 vessels with a known build year). At 9,859 gross tonnage it is larger than 51% 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 same builder is recorded for 114 other vessels here, 13 of them refrigerated cargo carriers. The reported port of registry changed: Monrovia (2018–2019), then Nassau (2021–2025).
Its 2,409 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 48% below the median of 4,662 t among the 117 refrigerated cargo carriers on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 226.9 kg CO₂, 11% below the type median of 256.2 kg. It logged 736 hours at sea against a median of 1,649 hours for its type that year. 7.1% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for refrigerated cargo carriers was 4.0%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (7,646 t) and the lowest 2023 (1,680 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 22 in 2018 to 20 in 2024 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2024 return reported a higher or equal CO₂ per nautical mile.
No EU/EEA voyages were reported for 2025: zero CO₂ and zero time at sea, left out of the trend and of any ranking.

Efficiency against its own type2024
Position 20 of 95 qualifying refrigerated cargo carriers by EEOI, at the 20th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 56.1; this vessel reported 42.3.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 56,950,118 tonne-miles over 10,618 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 68.5% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, 2022, so the series has gaps.
From 2023 to 2024, emissions rose 43.4% while distance sailed rose 55.0%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 7.5%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
