SASEBO ACE: CO₂ emissions 2018–2025

SASEBO ACE against its type

Built in 2011, it is 1 year older than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 40,339 gross tonnage it is larger than 63% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 1,603 bulk carriers here under the Marshall Islands flag, 19.7% of the 8,138 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 103 other vessels here, 69 of them bulk carriers. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Majuro as port of registry.

Its 4,442 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 31% 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 284.9 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 272.6 kg. It logged 1,338 hours at sea against a median of 1,186 hours for its type that year. 1.1% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 4.3%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (6,609 t) and the lowest 2020 (2,320 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 7 in 2018 to 29 in 2023 (lower is more efficient). Of the 2 sister ships listed below with a 2023 return, 1 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

No EU/EEA voyages were reported for 2024, 2025: zero CO₂ and zero time at sea, left out of the trend and of any ranking.

Efficiency against its own type2023

Position 937 of 3,262 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 29th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 8.0; this vessel reported 6.4.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 689,777,950 tonne-miles over 15,590 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 51.4% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2021, 2022, so the series has gaps.

From 2020 to 2023, emissions rose 91.5% while distance sailed rose 122.0%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 13.8%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
