ASIA OPAL 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 43,881 gross tonnage it is larger than 75% 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 96 other vessels here, 15 of them bulk carriers. Its MRV returns name it ASIA OPAL for 2018 and SPETSES SPIRIT for 2024. The reported port of registry changed: Singapore (2018), then MAJURO (2024).
Its 2,805 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 17% below the median of 3,377 t among the 3,676 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 382.9 kg CO₂, 45% above the type median of 264.0 kg. It logged 686 hours at sea against a median of 1,238 hours for its type that year. 5.7% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 2.9%. Of the 2 sister ships listed below with a 2024 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2024
Position 620 of 2,858 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 22nd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.9; this vessel reported 5.9.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 478,697,952 tonne-miles over 7,327 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 2.3% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, so the series has gaps.
From 2018 to 2024, emissions fell 2.3% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 12.2%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
