BBG KINDNESS against its type
Built in 2015, it is 3 years newer than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 36,336 gross tonnage it is larger than 56% 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 114 other vessels here, 111 of them bulk carriers. Its MRV returns name it SBI ATHENA for 2018–2020 and BBG KINDNESS for 2022–2023. The reported port of registry changed: Majuro (2018–2020), then MONROVIA (2022–2023).
Its 7,219 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 2.1 times the median of 3,386 t among the 3,573 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 299.7 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 272.6 kg. It logged 2,369 hours at sea against a median of 1,186 hours for its type that year. 4.1% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 4.3%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2023 (7,219 t) and the lowest 2018 (1,176 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 17 in 2019 to 39 in 2023 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2023
Position 1,261 of 3,262 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 39th 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 1,009,690,909 tonne-miles over 24,092 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 513.7% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2021, so the series has gaps.
From 2022 to 2023, emissions rose 20.7% while distance sailed rose 22.3%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 1.3%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
