TAILWINDS: CO₂ emissions 2018–2025

TAILWINDS 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 40,160 gross tonnage it is larger than 63% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 1,589 bulk carriers here under the Liberia flag, 19.5% of the 8,138 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 98 other vessels here, 49 of them bulk carriers. Its MRV returns name it THETIS for 2018 and TAILWINDS for 2019–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Nassau (2018), then Monrovia (2019–2025).

Its 1,859 t of CO₂ for 2022 is 52% below the median of 3,908 t among the 3,902 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2022. Per nautical mile it emitted 306.0 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 288.1 kg. It logged 454 hours at sea against a median of 1,254 hours for its type that year. 4.7% of its 2022 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 4.2%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (3,125 t) and the lowest 2018 (526 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 26 in 2019 to 25 in 2022 (lower is more efficient).

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

Efficiency against its own type2022

Position 936 of 3,692 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 25th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 8.4; this vessel reported 6.5.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 284,325,688 tonne-miles over 6,076 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2022 was 253.6% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, 2021, 2023, 2024, so the series has gaps.

From 2019 to 2022, emissions fell 40.5% while distance sailed fell 28.4%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 16.9%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
