CSSC CAPE TOWN against its type

Built in 2020, it is 8 years newer than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 66,786 gross tonnage it is larger than 87% 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 37 other vessels here, 30 of them bulk carriers. The returns for 2020–2024 all give Hong Kong as port of registry.

Its 10,158 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 3.0 times the median of 3,377 t among the 3,676 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 383.6 kg CO₂, 45% above the type median of 264.0 kg. It logged 2,375 hours at sea against a median of 1,238 hours for its type that year. 2.9% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 2.9%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2022 (12,190 t) and the lowest 2021 (1,417 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 10 in 2020 to 62 in 2024 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2024 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2024

Position 1,778 of 2,858 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 62nd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.9; this vessel reported 8.9.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 1,145,169,109 tonne-miles over 26,480 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 81.6% higher than in 2020, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2023 to 2024, emissions fell 4.1% while distance sailed fell 5.4%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 1.3%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
