MARAN ASPIRATION 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). It is one of 1,589 bulk carriers here under the Liberia flag, 19.5% of the 8,138 on the register. Its MRV returns name it MARAN ASPIRATION for 2020–2021 and MARINE BRIGHT for 2022–2024. The reported port of registry changed: Piraeus (2020–2021), then Monrovia (2022–2024).

Its 7,829 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 2.3 times the median of 3,377 t among the 3,676 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 427.4 kg CO₂, 1.6 times the type median of 264.0 kg. It logged 1,676 hours at sea against a median of 1,238 hours for its type that year. 1.4% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 2.9%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2021 (11,444 t) and the lowest 2023 (1,541 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 9 in 2020 to 27 in 2024 (lower is more efficient). The one comparable vessel listed below with a 2024 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2024

Position 767 of 2,858 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 27th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.9; this vessel reported 6.2.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 1,254,597,756 tonne-miles over 18,317 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 5.0% higher than in 2020, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2023 to 2024, emissions rose 408.1% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 12.5%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
