GRACEFUL MADONNA 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 90,119 gross tonnage it is larger than 90% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 1,589 bulk carriers here under the Liberia flag, 19.5% of the 8,138 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 98 other vessels here, 50 of them bulk carriers. Its MRV returns name it GRACEFUL MADONNA for 2019 and MOUNT SONG for 2022. The reported port of registry changed: PANAMA (2019), then Monrovia (2022).

Its 3,900 t of CO₂ for 2022 is close to the median of 3,908 t among the 3,902 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2022. Per nautical mile it emitted 409.9 kg CO₂, 42% above the type median of 288.1 kg. It logged 896 hours at sea against a median of 1,254 hours for its type that year. 4.0% of its 2022 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 4.2%. Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 4 in 2019 to 7 in 2022 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2022 return reported a higher or equal CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2022

Position 253 of 3,692 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 7th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 8.4; this vessel reported 4.5.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 864,811,530 tonne-miles over 9,515 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2022 was 78.7% lower than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, 2021, so the series has gaps.

From 2019 to 2022, emissions fell 78.7% while distance sailed fell 74.9%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 15.2%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.

Where the 2022 emissions occurred

Laden voyages2022

CO₂ on laden voyages: 2,553 t, 65% of total
Fuel, laden: 809 t
CO₂ per nm, laden: 402.8 kg

The rest of the 2022 total was emitted on ballast legs or at berth.
