OCCITAN SKY: CO₂ emissions 2018–2022

OCCITAN SKY against its type

Built in 2004, it is 8 years older than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 17,944 gross tonnage it is smaller than 93% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 218 bulk carriers here under the Bahamas flag, 2.7% of the 8,138 on the register. The returns for 2021–2022 all give NASSAU as port of registry.

Its 6,305 t of CO₂ for 2022 is 1.6 times the median of 3,908 t among the 3,902 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2022. Per nautical mile it emitted 253.1 kg CO₂, 12% below the type median of 288.1 kg. It logged 2,500 hours at sea against a median of 1,254 hours for its type that year. 4.6% of its 2022 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 4.2%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (6,981 t) and the lowest 2022 (6,305 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type was 87 in both 2018 and 2022. The one comparable vessel listed below with a 2022 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2022

Position 3,200 of 3,692 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 87th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 8.4; this vessel reported 13.6.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 464,979,351 tonne-miles over 24,914 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2022 was 9.7% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, 2020, so the series has gaps.

From 2021 to 2022, emissions fell 5.8% while distance sailed fell 8.1%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 2.5%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.

Sources and how to read this

• Emissions: EU MRV publication (THETIS-MRV), reporting years 2018–2022, published by the European Commission.
• Vessel particulars: Wikidata (CC0).

This page draws on 3 MRV reporting years, an efficiency ranking and 4 of 5 vessel particulars. Not found in the sources for this vessel: AIS movements in Norwegian waters, a name history, a licensed photograph, a sanctions listing and US port state inspections.

Empty means unreported, never zero. How EEOI, distance, percentiles and sister ships are handled is explained under reading a vessel page. Something wrong? See corrections.
