BABY HERCULES 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 61,150 gross tonnage it is larger than 86% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 1,601 bulk carriers here under the Panama flag, 19.7% of the 8,138 on the register. The returns for 2018–2024 all give PANAMA as port of registry.
Its 9,675 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 2.9 times the median of 3,377 t among the 3,676 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 336.8 kg CO₂, 28% above the type median of 264.0 kg. It logged 2,151 hours at sea against a median of 1,238 hours for its type that year. 0.0% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 2.9%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2022 (14,721 t) and the lowest 2018 (2,657 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 17 in 2018 to 40 in 2023 (lower is more efficient). Of the 3 comparable vessels listed below with a 2024 return, 0 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2023
Position 1,298 of 3,262 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 40th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 8.0; this vessel reported 7.2.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 596,464,632 tonne-miles over 11,689 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 264.1% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, so the series has gaps.
From 2023 to 2024, emissions rose 125.0% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 8.5%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
