ESMERALDA against its type
Built in 1999, it is 5 years newer than the median refrigerated cargo carrier on this register, which was built in 1994 (183 vessels with a known build year). At 10,532 gross tonnage it is larger than 60% 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 same builder is recorded for 114 other vessels here, 13 of them refrigerated cargo carriers. Its MRV returns name it ESMERALDA for 2018 and INVINCIBLE for 2021–2024. The reported port of registry changed: Valletta (2018), then panama (2021–2024).
Its 1,527 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 67% below the median of 4,662 t among the 117 refrigerated cargo carriers on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 248.9 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 256.2 kg. It logged 554 hours at sea against a median of 1,649 hours for its type that year. 6.6% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for refrigerated cargo carriers was 4.0%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (20,414 t) and the lowest 2024 (1,527 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 39 in 2018 to 14 in 2024 (lower is more efficient). Of the 2 sister ships listed below with a 2024 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2024
Position 14 of 95 qualifying refrigerated cargo carriers by EEOI, at the 14th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 56.1; this vessel reported 39.5.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 38,634,455 tonne-miles over 6,135 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 92.5% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, 2020, so the series has gaps.
From 2023 to 2024, emissions fell 54.0% while distance sailed fell 59.0%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 12.1%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
