Cargo Standard vessel CLEANBU
Caustic Soda MR Tanker = 30%
Dry Bulk PMAX = 30% 10%
CPP LR1 Tanker = 34%

… resulting in CO2 emissions reductions equal to the annual emission of ~800 cars2

1) For tankers ballast percentage for standard vessels based on AIS trackings and average ballast distance prior/after discharge. For dry bulk vessel ballast percentage is based on AIS trackings of average ballast distance prior to discharge

2) CO2 emission reduction is compared to that of standard tankers and a standard dry bulk vessel performing the same cargoes as MV Barracuda, with the weighted average ballast leg connected for the standard vessels. AIS data and Baltic Exchange vessel description has been used to estimate this effect. Ballast leg for the dry bulk vessel is basis the weighted average inbound ballast leg prior loading, and the ballast contribution from the tankers is basis the ballast distance prior/after discharge.

1) EEOI (Energy Efficiency Operational Index) is defined by IMO and represents CO2 emitted per transported cargo per nautical mile for a period of time (both fuel consumption at sea and in port included). In theory, this index will show the good energy efficiency for the combination carriers as we have a little degree of ballast, but we have also seen that the index is highly affected by one or two longer ballast legs since the fleet is relatively small. These variations are evident when we look at the historical numbers, but will most likely be more stable when we have more vessels in the fleet.
