KNOSSOS WAVE against its type
Built in 2012, it is the same age as the median bulk carrier on this register (build year 2012, 6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 47,984 gross tonnage it is larger than 83% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 212 bulk carriers here under the Cyprus flag, 2.6% of the 8,138 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 204 other vessels here, 70 of them bulk carriers. The returns for 2018–2020 all give Limassol as port of registry.
Its 6,040 t of CO₂ for 2020 is 1.5 times the median of 3,952 t among the 3,048 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2020. Per nautical mile it emitted 359.6 kg CO₂, 30% above the type median of 277.5 kg. It logged 1,362 hours at sea against a median of 1,298 hours for its type that year. 2.0% of its 2020 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.8%. Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 66 in 2018 to 16 in 2020 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2020 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2020
Position 490 of 2,985 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 16th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 8.1; this vessel reported 5.7.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 1,069,077,876 tonne-miles over 16,796 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2020 was 46.3% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, so the series has gaps.
From 2018 to 2020, emissions fell 46.3% while distance sailed fell 47.4%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 2.1%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
