Emissions & fuel consumption

Independently verified annual figures reported under the EU MRV regulation — public environmental data the incumbents don't surface.

Year	CO₂ emitted	Fuel burned	Time at sea	CO₂ / n mile
2025	4,011 t	1,251 t	172 days	91 kg

Technical efficiency: EEXI (10.7 gCO₂/t·nm). Source: European Commission / EMSA THETIS-MRV (EU Regulation 2015/757). Covers voyages to, from and within the EU/EEA.

Port calls

Two kinds of evidence, kept apart: calls Seadar detected from the ship's AIS positions, and arrivals and departures published by port authorities and customs records.

Detected from AIS AIS-detected

Port	Arrived	Departed	Time in port
Rostock DERSK	Sep 28, 2026, 18:37 UTC	Sep 30, 2026, 07:49 UTC	37 h 12 min
Liepaja LVLPX	Sep 25, 2026, 23:23 UTC	Sep 27, 2026, 12:48 UTC	37 h 25 min

Detected by Seadar when the ship's AIS positions stayed slow inside a harbour area. Calls shorter than 30 minutes are not shown. Depends on AIS reception; detection started on June 8, 2026.

Behaviour at sea Seadar-derived

Patterns Seadar derived from this ship's AIS broadcasts. They are inferences, not reports: each one shows how it was computed and how confident we are, and none of them says why a ship behaved this way.

When	What we observed	Confidence
Sep 26, 2026, 14:07 UTC	Draught change Reported draught went from 4.5 m to 6.1 m while in port at Liepaja. Seadar infers the ship probably loaded cargo. Method seadar.behaviour.draught_change v1	Medium (65%)
