GLOVIS COUGAR against its type

Built in 2012, it is 4 years newer than the median vehicle carrier on this register, which was built in 2008 (595 vessels with a known build year). At 60,404 gross tonnage it is larger than 67% of the other 571 vehicle carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 43 vehicle carriers here under the South Korea flag, 6.0% of the 713 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 96 other vessels here. The reported port of registry changed: MAJURO (2018), then JEJU (2019–2023).

Its 7,466 t of CO₂ for 2023 is close to the median of 7,792 t among the 460 vehicle carriers on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 395.5 kg CO₂, 21% above the type median of 326.4 kg. It logged 1,229 hours at sea against a median of 1,623 hours for its type that year. 2.4% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for vehicle carriers was 3.6%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (16,082 t) and the lowest 2022 (4,248 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 48 in 2018 to 80 in 2023 (lower is more efficient). Of the 2 comparable vessels listed below with a 2023 return, 1 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2023

Position 300 of 376 qualifying vehicle carriers by EEOI, at the 80th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 53.8; this vessel reported 72.3.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 103,321,755 tonne-miles over 18,879 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 32.5% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, so the series has gaps.

From 2022 to 2023, emissions rose 75.7% while distance sailed rose 73.4%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 1.4%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
