ICS SILVER SPIRIT: CO₂ emissions 2018–2025

ICS SILVER SPIRIT against its type

Built in 2006, it is 1 year older than the median general cargo ship on this register, which was built in 2007 (2,852 vessels with a known build year). At 9,177 gross tonnage it is larger than 62% of the other 2,665 general cargo ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 146 general cargo ships here under the Bahamas flag, 4.7% of the 3,081 on the register. Its MRV returns name it SIDER VENTURE for 2018–2020 and ICS SILVER SPIRIT for 2023–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Madeira (2018–2020), then Nassau (2023–2025).

Its 5,884 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 1.6 times 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 178.0 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 193.7 kg. It logged 3,141 hours at sea against a median of 1,942 hours for its type that year. 3.1% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for general cargo ships was 4.5%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (7,242 t) and the lowest 2020 (4,171 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 31 in 2018 to 33 in 2020 (lower is more efficient).

No EU/EEA voyages were reported for 2024, 2025: zero CO₂ and zero time at sea, left out of the trend and of any ranking.

Efficiency against its own type2020

Position 90 of 270 qualifying general cargo ships by EEOI, at the 33rd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 23.3; this vessel reported 19.9.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 209,998,489 tonne-miles over 23,250 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 18.8% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2021, 2022, so the series has gaps.

From 2020 to 2023, emissions rose 41.1% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 0.8%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.

Sources and how to read this

• Emissions: EU MRV publication (THETIS-MRV), reporting years 2018–2025, published by the European Commission.
• Vessel particulars: Wikidata (CC0).

This page draws on 6 MRV reporting years, an efficiency ranking, 4 of 5 vessel particulars and a name history. Not found in the sources for this vessel: AIS movements in Norwegian waters, a licensed photograph, a sanctions listing and US port state inspections.

Empty means unreported, never zero. How EEOI, distance, percentiles and sister ships are handled is explained under reading a vessel page. Something wrong? See corrections.
