PACIFIC SOPHIA against its type

Built in 2005, it is 7 years older than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 30,064 gross tonnage it is smaller than 71% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 1,601 bulk carriers here under the Panama flag, 19.7% of the 8,138 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 360 other vessels here, 303 of them bulk carriers. Its MRV returns name it SABRINA I for 2018–2019 and PACIFIC SOPHIA for 2023. The returns for 2018–2023 all give Panama as port of registry.

Its 4,904 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 45% above the median of 3,386 t among the 3,573 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 271.6 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 272.6 kg. It logged 1,952 hours at sea against a median of 1,186 hours for its type that year. 3.1% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 4.3%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2023 (4,904 t) and the lowest 2018 (1,436 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 30 in 2018 to 25 in 2023 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2023 return reported a higher or equal CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2023

Position 813 of 3,262 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 25th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 8.0; this vessel reported 6.1.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 798,775,244 tonne-miles over 18,061 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 241.5% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, 2021, 2022, so the series has gaps.

From 2019 to 2023, emissions rose 48.6% while distance sailed rose 57.7%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 5.7%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
