NAVIGATOR COPERNICO against its type

Built in 2016, it is 3 years newer than the median gas carrier on this register, which was built in 2013 (530 vessels with a known build year). At 17,208 gross tonnage it is smaller than 64% of the other 525 gas carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 131 gas carriers here under the Liberia flag, 19.0% of the 688 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 98 other vessels here, 11 of them gas carriers. The returns for 2020–2021 all give Monrovia as port of registry.

Its 4,757 t of CO₂ for 2021 is 16% below the median of 5,641 t among the 329 gas carriers on this register that reported for 2021. Per nautical mile it emitted 228.8 kg CO₂, 14% below the type median of 265.7 kg. It logged 2,321 hours at sea against a median of 1,780 hours for its type that year. 11.9% of its 2021 emissions were at berth; the median for gas carriers was 4.9%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2020 (10,429 t) and the lowest 2018 (2,696 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 57 in 2018 to 28 in 2021 (lower is more efficient). Of the 2 comparable vessels listed below with a 2021 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2021

Position 83 of 290 qualifying gas carriers by EEOI, at the 28th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 42.7; this vessel reported 26.8.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 177,229,136 tonne-miles over 20,792 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2021 was 76.5% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2020 to 2021, emissions fell 54.4% while distance sailed fell 46.8%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 14.3%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
