ASIA ZIRCON II against its type
Built in 2009, it is 3 years older than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 32,578 gross tonnage it is smaller than 63% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 137 bulk carriers here under the China flag, 1.7% of the 8,138 on the register. Its MRV returns name it ASIA ZIRCON II for 2018 and KUAIBANGHAI 18 for 2023–2024. The reported port of registry changed: Singapore (2018), then YANGPU (2023–2024).
Its 2,990 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 11% 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 304.1 kg CO₂, 15% above the type median of 264.0 kg. It logged 1,040 hours at sea against a median of 1,238 hours for its type that year. 1.3% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 2.9%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2024 (2,990 t) and the lowest 2018 (2,369 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 81 in 2018 to 37 in 2024 (lower is more efficient). The one comparable vessel listed below with a 2024 return reported a higher or equal CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2024
Position 1,070 of 2,858 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 37th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.9; this vessel reported 7.0.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 424,043,972 tonne-miles over 9,830 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 26.2% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, so the series has gaps.
From 2023 to 2024, emissions rose 3.9% while distance sailed rose 69.9%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 38.8%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
