KAPOK: CO₂ emissions 2018–2021

KAPOK against its type

Built in 2005, it is 5 years older than the median oil tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (2,896 vessels with a known build year). At 83,469 gross tonnage it is larger than 80% of the other 2,841 oil tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 180 oil tankers here under the Bahamas flag, 5.1% of the 3,548 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 660 other vessels here, 159 of them oil tankers. The returns for 2018–2021 all give Nassau as port of registry.

Its 17,861 t of CO₂ for 2021 is 2.3 times the median of 7,717 t among the 1,777 oil tankers on this register that reported for 2021. Per nautical mile it emitted 663.0 kg CO₂, 1.6 times the type median of 409.1 kg. It logged 2,446 hours at sea against a median of 1,921 hours for its type that year. 23.7% of its 2021 emissions were at berth; the median for oil tankers was 8.8%. Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 62 in 2018 to 28 in 2021 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2021 return reported a higher or equal CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2021

Position 465 of 1,636 qualifying oil tankers by EEOI, at the 28th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 8.4; this vessel reported 6.3.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 2,830,648,178 tonne-miles over 26,939 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2021 was 278.7% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, 2020, so the series has gaps.

From 2018 to 2021, emissions rose 278.7% while distance sailed rose 195.2%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 28.3%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
