COSCO TAIHANGSHAN against its type
Built in 2010, it is 2 years older than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 19,993 gross tonnage it is smaller than 90% 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 same builder is recorded for 44 other vessels here, 4 of them bulk carriers. The returns for 2021–2025 all give Hong Kong as port of registry.
Its 1,593 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 53% 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 273.0 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 264.0 kg. It logged 666 hours at sea against a median of 1,238 hours for its type that year. 2.1% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 2.9%. Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 91 in 2021 to 88 in 2024 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2024 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.
No EU/EEA voyages were reported for 2025: zero CO₂ and zero time at sea, left out of the trend and of any ranking.

Efficiency against its own type2024
Position 2,520 of 2,858 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 88th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.9; this vessel reported 12.8.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 124,358,314 tonne-miles over 5,836 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 53.7% lower than in 2021, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2022, 2023, so the series has gaps.
From 2021 to 2024, emissions fell 53.7% while distance sailed fell 41.9%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 20.3%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
