BELUGA A against its type
Built in 2001, it is 11 years older than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 16,978 gross tonnage it is smaller than 96% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 43 bulk carriers here under the Saint Kitts and Nevis flag, 0.5% of the 8,138 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 323 other vessels here, 238 of them bulk carriers. Its MRV returns name it PORT BOTANY for 2018 and BELUGA A for 2023–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Hong Kong, China (2018), then Basseterre (2023–2025).
Its 1,411 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 58% 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 204.2 kg CO₂, 25% below the type median of 272.6 kg. It logged 708 hours at sea against a median of 1,186 hours for its type that year. 2.9% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 4.3%. Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 70 in 2018 to 90 in 2023 (lower is more efficient).
No EU/EEA voyages were reported for 2025: zero CO₂ and zero time at sea, left out of the trend and of any ranking.

Efficiency against its own type2023
Position 2,922 of 3,262 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 90th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 8.0; this vessel reported 13.6.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 103,428,152 tonne-miles over 6,909 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 73.3% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2024, so the series has gaps.
From 2018 to 2023, emissions fell 73.3% while distance sailed fell 70.0%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 11.1%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
