CHAO TIAN MEN against its type
Built in 2004, it is 8 years older than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 41,205 gross tonnage it is larger than 65% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 1,601 bulk carriers here under the Panama flag, 19.7% of the 8,138 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 80 other vessels here, 11 of them bulk carriers. Its MRV returns name it GLORY TRADER for 2018–2023 and CHAO TIAN MEN for 2024. The returns for 2018–2024 all give Panama as port of registry.
Its 1,535 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 55% below the median of 3,377 t among the 3,676 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 274.9 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 264.0 kg. It logged 520 hours at sea against a median of 1,238 hours for its type that year. 3.1% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 2.9%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2023 (8,076 t) and the lowest 2019 (258 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 24 in 2018 to 30 in 2023 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2024 return reported a higher or equal CO₂ per nautical mile.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 37.3% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2021, so the series has gaps.
From 2023 to 2024, emissions fell 81.0% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 2.9%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
