BLUE SHARK against its type
Built in 1997, it is 15 years older than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 16,270 gross tonnage it is smaller than 96% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 35 bulk carriers here under the Belize flag, 0.4% of the 8,138 on the register. Its MRV returns name it MERAIO for 2019, DONNA MERAY for 2021 and BLUE SHARK for 2023. The returns for 2019–2023 all give Belize as port of registry.
Its 694 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 80% 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 195.9 kg CO₂, 28% below the type median of 272.6 kg. It logged 720 hours at sea against a median of 1,186 hours for its type that year. 4.6% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 4.3%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2021 (1,135 t) and the lowest 2023 (694 t).

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 21.9% lower than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, 2022, so the series has gaps.
From 2021 to 2023, emissions fell 38.9% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 19.6%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
