FRIJSENBORG against its type

Built in 2016, it is 14 years newer than the median ro-ro ship on this register, which was built in 2002 (281 vessels with a known build year). At 21,970 gross tonnage it is larger than 53% of the other 269 ro-ro ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 21 ro-ro ships here under the Denmark flag, 6.8% of the 311 on the register. Its MRV returns name it SPIRIT OF MONTOIR for 2018–2019, FRIJSENBORG for 2020–2022 and STENA FORWARDER for 2023. The reported port of registry changed: Bari - RI 065 (2018–2020), then VENICE (2021), then VENEZIA (2022), then COPENHAGEN (2023).

Its 22,121 t of CO₂ for 2023 is close to the median of 22,994 t among the 234 ro-ro ships on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 344.4 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 333.6 kg. It logged 4,517 hours at sea against a median of 5,172 hours for its type that year. 5.8% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for ro-ro ships was 4.3%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (53,341 t) and the lowest 2022 (17,974 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 100 in 2020 to 60 in 2023 (lower is more efficient). The one comparable vessel listed below with a 2023 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2023

Position 111 of 183 qualifying ro-ro ships by EEOI, at the 60th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 92.9; this vessel reported 108.6.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 203,652,734 tonne-miles over 64,222 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 58.5% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2022 to 2023, emissions rose 23.1% while distance sailed rose 22.7%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 0.3%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
