COOL EXPLORER against its type
Built in 2019, it is 25 years newer than the median refrigerated cargo carrier on this register, which was built in 1994 (183 vessels with a known build year). At 22,452 gross tonnage it is larger than 96% of the other 178 refrigerated cargo carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 38 refrigerated cargo carriers here under the Panama flag, 18.8% of the 202 on the register. The returns for 2019–2025 all give PANAMA as port of registry.
Its 752 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 86% below the median of 5,190 t among the 111 refrigerated cargo carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 454.1 kg CO₂, 1.7 times the type median of 260.9 kg. It logged 112 hours at sea against a median of 1,731 hours for its type that year. 3.5% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for refrigerated cargo carriers was 3.8%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2020 (23,437 t) and the lowest 2025 (752 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 1 in 2019 to 10 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 7 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 6 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 10 of 95 qualifying refrigerated cargo carriers by EEOI, at the 10th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 55.3; this vessel reported 35.0.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 21,466,457 tonne-miles over 1,656 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 89.0% lower than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2024, so the series has gaps.
From 2023 to 2025, emissions fell 65.3% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 28.5%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
