IMO 9561265 EU ETS7 reporting years

CO₂ reported 2024: 19,980 t

ELEGANT ACE against its type

Built in 2010, it is 2 years newer than the median vehicle carrier on this register, which was built in 2008 (595 vessels with a known build year). At 58,939 gross tonnage it is smaller than 50% of the other 571 vehicle carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 177 vehicle carriers here under the Panama flag, 24.8% of the 713 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 69 other vessels here, 28 of them vehicle carriers. The reported port of registry changed: GEORGE TOWN (2018–2020), then PANAMA (2021–2024).

Its 19,980 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 2.4 times the median of 8,474 t among the 465 vehicle carriers on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 307.1 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 320.4 kg. It logged 4,153 hours at sea against a median of 1,799 hours for its type that year. 0.0% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for vehicle carriers was 2.2%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2024 (19,980 t) and the lowest 2021 (4,916 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 34 in 2018 to 67 in 2023 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2024 return reported a higher or equal CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2023

Position 253 of 376 qualifying vehicle carriers by EEOI, at the 67th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 53.8; this vessel reported 62.8.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 79,071,679 tonne-miles over 16,298 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 227.1% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2023 to 2024, emissions rose 302.5% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 0.8%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.

Where the 2024 emissions occurred

Methane, nitrous oxide and EU ETS2024

Total CO₂ equivalent: 20,295 t
Methane (CH₄): 0.32 t
Nitrous oxide (N₂O): 1.15 t
Under EU ETS: 10,171 t, 51% of total

Laden voyages2024

CO₂ on laden voyages: 10,981 t, 55% of total
Fuel, laden: 3,524 t

The rest of the 2024 total was emitted on ballast legs or at berth.
