FEDERAL MARGAREE against its type

Built in 2005, it is 2 years older than the median general cargo ship on this register, which was built in 2007 (2,852 vessels with a known build year). At 18,825 gross tonnage it is larger than 76% of the other 2,665 general cargo ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 181 general cargo ships here under the Marshall Islands flag, 5.9% of the 3,081 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 101 other vessels here, 8 of them general cargo ships. Its MRV returns name it FEDERAL MARGAREE for 2018–2019 and MERCURY J for 2022–2023. The reported port of registry changed: Majuro (2018–2019), then MALAKAL (2022–2023).

Its 778 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 79% below the median of 3,650 t among the 1,342 general cargo ships on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 283.9 kg CO₂, 47% above the type median of 193.7 kg. It logged 384 hours at sea against a median of 1,942 hours for its type that year. 9.1% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for general cargo ships was 4.5%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (10,559 t) and the lowest 2023 (778 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 92 in 2018 to 88 in 2019 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2019

Position 2,766 of 3,161 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 88th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 8.1; this vessel reported 13.1.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 807,257,645 tonne-miles over 42,726 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 90.5% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, 2021, so the series has gaps.

From 2019 to 2023, emissions fell 92.6% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 14.9%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
