NURKEZ: CO₂ emissions 2019–2021

NURKEZ against its type

Built in 2004, it is 6 years older than the median oil tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (2,896 vessels with a known build year). At 57,680 gross tonnage it is smaller than 52% of the other 2,841 oil tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 718 oil tankers here under the Liberia flag, 20.2% of the 3,548 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 983 other vessels here, 270 of them oil tankers. The returns for 2019–2021 all give Monrovia as port of registry.

Its 6,385 t of CO₂ for 2021 is 17% below the median of 7,717 t among the 1,777 oil tankers on this register that reported for 2021. Per nautical mile it emitted 625.6 kg CO₂, 1.5 times the type median of 409.1 kg. It logged 1,064 hours at sea against a median of 1,921 hours for its type that year. 2.9% of its 2021 emissions were at berth; the median for oil tankers was 8.8%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2021 (6,385 t) and the lowest 2019 (4,266 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 10 in 2019 to 83 in 2021 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2021 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2021

Position 1,364 of 1,636 qualifying oil tankers by EEOI, at the 83rd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 8.4; this vessel reported 15.4.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 415,442,420 tonne-miles over 10,207 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2021 was 49.7% higher than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2020 to 2021, emissions rose 24.9% while distance sailed rose 5.1%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 18.9%.That points mainly to how efficiently it sailed, rather than the other.
