CBL SPRING against its type

Built in 2009, it is 3 years older than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). It is one of 637 bulk carriers here under the Hong Kong flag, 7.8% 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 NEW VENTURE for 2018–2023 and CBL SPRING for 2025. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Hong Kong as port of registry.

Its 1,636 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 49% below the median of 3,239 t among the 3,731 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 250.9 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 260.7 kg. It logged 577 hours at sea against a median of 1,200 hours for its type that year. 9.8% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.7%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2020 (6,182 t) and the lowest 2023 (1,030 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 71 in 2018 to 93 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 4 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 3 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 3,020 of 3,241 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 93rd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.6; this vessel reported 14.3.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 114,671,338 tonne-miles over 6,521 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 53.1% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2021, 2022, 2024, so the series has gaps.

From 2023 to 2025, emissions rose 58.9% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 22.5%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
