PACIFIC MERMAID: CO₂ emissions 2018–2025

PACIFIC MERMAID against its type

Built in 1992, it is 2 years older than the median refrigerated cargo carrier on this register, which was built in 1994 (183 vessels with a known build year). At 9,820 gross tonnage it is larger than 50% of the other 178 refrigerated cargo carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 26 refrigerated cargo carriers here under the Liberia flag, 12.9% of the 202 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 323 other vessels here, one of them a refrigerated cargo carrier. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Monrovia as port of registry.

Its 2,720 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 48% below the median of 5,190 t among the 111 refrigerated cargo carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 265.8 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 260.9 kg. It logged 806 hours at sea against a median of 1,731 hours for its type that year. 20.6% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for refrigerated cargo carriers was 3.8%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (6,378 t) and the lowest 2025 (2,720 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 32 in 2018 to 74 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 5 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 3 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 71 of 95 qualifying refrigerated cargo carriers by EEOI, at the 74th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 55.3; this vessel reported 66.3.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 41,031,222 tonne-miles over 10,236 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 57.3% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 23.9% while distance sailed fell 33.1%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 13.7%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
