FRONTIER EXPLORER against its type
Built in 2010, it is 2 years older than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 93,228 gross tonnage it is larger than 94% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 23 bulk carriers here under the Japan flag, 0.3% of the 8,138 on the register. The reported port of registry changed: PANAMA (2018–2021), then TOKYO (2024).
Its 13,121 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 3.9 times the median of 3,377 t among the 3,676 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 520.9 kg CO₂, 2.0 times the type median of 264.0 kg. It logged 2,293 hours at sea against a median of 1,238 hours for its type that year. 0.0% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 2.9%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2024 (13,121 t) and the lowest 2021 (1,624 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 27 in 2018 to 1 in 2020 (lower is more efficient). Of the 3 comparable vessels listed below with a 2024 return, 3 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2020
Position 29 of 2,985 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 1st percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 8.1; this vessel reported 3.0.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 1,761,752,542 tonne-miles over 10,430 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 129.6% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2022, 2023, so the series has gaps.
From 2021 to 2024, emissions rose 708.1% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 3.1%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
