BLUE WAVE 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 47,984 gross tonnage it is larger than 83% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 212 bulk carriers here under the Cyprus flag, 2.6% of the 8,138 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 204 other vessels here, 70 of them bulk carriers. The returns for 2018–2022 all give Limassol as port of registry.
Its 15,833 t of CO₂ for 2022 is 4.1 times the median of 3,908 t among the 3,902 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2022. Per nautical mile it emitted 356.6 kg CO₂, 24% above the type median of 288.1 kg. It logged 3,956 hours at sea against a median of 1,254 hours for its type that year. 4.2% of its 2022 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 4.2%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (20,424 t) and the lowest 2020 (3,626 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 50 in 2018 to 53 in 2022 (lower is more efficient). Of the 2 sister ships listed below with a 2022 return, 1 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2022
Position 1,966 of 3,692 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 53rd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 8.4; this vessel reported 8.7.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 1,821,989,643 tonne-miles over 44,394 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2022 was 6.0% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2021, so the series has gaps.
From 2020 to 2022, emissions rose 336.7% while distance sailed rose 367.4%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 6.6%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
