ALPHA HERO against its type
Built in 2018, it is 6 years newer than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 44,114 gross tonnage it is larger than 77% 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 21 other vessels here, 8 of them bulk carriers. The reported port of registry changed: Hong Kong (2018), then Majuro (2019–2022).
Its 1,985 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 41% below the median of 3,386 t among the 3,573 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 295.1 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 272.6 kg. It logged 596 hours at sea against a median of 1,186 hours for its type that year. 10.4% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 4.3%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2020 (12,280 t) and the lowest 2023 (1,985 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 19 in 2018 to 14 in 2023 (lower is more efficient). The one comparable vessel listed below with a 2023 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2023
Position 463 of 3,262 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 14th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 8.0; this vessel reported 5.2.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 380,231,801 tonne-miles over 6,726 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 11.4% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2022 to 2023, emissions fell 81.1% while distance sailed fell 80.6%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 2.5%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
