CERES THREE against its type
Built in 2000, it is 6 years newer than the median refrigerated cargo carrier on this register, which was built in 1994 (183 vessels with a known build year). At 11,382 gross tonnage it is larger than 67% 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 76 other vessels here, 13 of them refrigerated cargo carriers. Its MRV returns name it ROYAL KLIPPER for 2018–2020, CERES THREE for 2021 and COOL ROYAL for 2023–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Scheveningen (2018), then Groningen (2019), then Monrovia (2020), then NASSAU (2021–2025).
Its 7,887 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 1.5 times the median of 5,190 t among the 111 refrigerated cargo carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 294.1 kg CO₂, 13% above the type median of 260.9 kg. It logged 1,733 hours at sea against a median of 1,731 hours for its type that year. 2.2% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for refrigerated cargo carriers was 3.8%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (29,023 t) and the lowest 2023 (2,936 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 85 in 2018 to 65 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 5 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 4 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 62 of 95 qualifying refrigerated cargo carriers by EEOI, at the 65th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 55.3; this vessel reported 61.7.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 127,834,522 tonne-miles over 26,822 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 72.8% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2022, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 11.7% while distance sailed rose 23.4%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 9.4%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
