CHINA SPIRIT against its type
Built in 2013, it is 1 year newer than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 22,434 gross tonnage it is smaller than 85% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 637 bulk carriers here under the Hong Kong flag, 7.8% of the 8,138 on the register. The returns for 2019–2025 all give Hong Kong as port of registry.
Its 2,055 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 37% 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 265.1 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 260.7 kg. It logged 835 hours at sea against a median of 1,200 hours for its type that year. 5.8% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.7%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2024 (3,654 t) and the lowest 2022 (1,953 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 95 in 2019 to 92 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 5 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 3 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 2,982 of 3,241 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 92nd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.6; this vessel reported 13.6.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 151,181,016 tonne-miles over 7,751 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 18.7% lower than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2021, 2023, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 43.8% while distance sailed fell 54.6%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 23.8%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
