CAPRICORN: CO₂ emissions 2018–2023

CAPRICORN against its type

Built in 2001, it is 6 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 21,388 gross tonnage it is larger than 83% of the other 2,665 general cargo ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 310 general cargo ships here under the Panama flag, 10.1% of the 3,081 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 69 other vessels here, 3 of them general cargo ships. Its MRV returns name it CORSAIR for 2018–2021 and CAPRICORN for 2022–2023. The returns for 2022–2023 all give PANAMA as port of registry.

Its 1,525 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 58% below the median of 3,650 t among the 1,342 general cargo ships on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 245.8 kg CO₂, 27% above the type median of 193.7 kg. It logged 527 hours at sea against a median of 1,942 hours for its type that year. 0.5% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for general cargo ships was 4.5%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2021 (5,120 t) and the lowest 2019 (678 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 85 in 2018 to 30 in 2023 (lower is more efficient). The one comparable vessel listed below with a 2023 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2023

Position 99 of 331 qualifying general cargo ships by EEOI, at the 30th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 21.1; this vessel reported 15.0.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 101,469,062 tonne-miles over 6,205 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 62.2% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2022 to 2023, emissions rose 10.5% while distance sailed rose 18.0%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 6.4%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.

Sources and how to read this

• Emissions: EU MRV publication (THETIS-MRV), reporting years 2018–2023, published by the European Commission.
• Vessel particulars: Wikidata (CC0).

This page draws on 6 MRV reporting years, an efficiency ranking, 5 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.
