CHARMINAR: CO₂ emissions 2018–2023

CHARMINAR against its type

Built in 2006, it is 4 years older than the median oil tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (2,896 vessels with a known build year). At 30,053 gross tonnage it is smaller than 71% of the other 2,841 oil tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 244 oil tankers here under the Panama flag, 6.9% of the 3,548 on the register. Its MRV returns name it NORTHERN LIGHT for 2018–2022 and CHARMINAR for 2023. The reported port of registry changed: Majuro (2018–2022), then PANAMA (2023).

Its 5,834 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 22% below the median of 7,491 t among the 1,850 oil tankers on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 340.6 kg CO₂, 17% below the type median of 408.5 kg. It logged 1,353 hours at sea against a median of 1,807 hours for its type that year. 4.8% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for oil tankers was 8.4%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (12,345 t) and the lowest 2021 (3,960 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 46 in 2018 to 91 in 2023 (lower is more efficient). Of the 3 comparable vessels listed below with a 2023 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2023

Position 1,473 of 1,615 qualifying oil tankers by EEOI, at the 91st percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 8.0; this vessel reported 20.1.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 290,116,360 tonne-miles over 17,127 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 52.7% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, so the series has gaps.

From 2022 to 2023, emissions fell 2.7% while distance sailed fell 4.1%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 1.5%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
