AZZURA against its type
Built in 2004, it is 8 years older than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 29,407 gross tonnage it is smaller than 72% 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 87 other vessels here, 60 of them bulk carriers. Its MRV returns name it AZZURA for 2018 and RONG XIANG for 2023–2024. The returns for 2018–2024 all give Majuro as port of registry.
Its 2,589 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 24% 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 263.1 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 272.6 kg. It logged 858 hours at sea against a median of 1,186 hours for its type that year. 7.3% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 4.3%. Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 52 in 2018 to 47 in 2023 (lower is more efficient).
No EU/EEA voyages were reported for 2024: zero CO₂ and zero time at sea, left out of the trend and of any ranking.

Efficiency against its own type2023
Position 1,548 of 3,262 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 47th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 8.0; this vessel reported 7.8.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 333,218,790 tonne-miles over 9,841 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 26.4% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, so the series has gaps.
From 2018 to 2023, emissions fell 26.4% while distance sailed fell 11.4%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 16.9%.
