DA QING against its type

Built in 2017, it is 10 years newer than the median general cargo ship on this register, which was built in 2007 (2,852 vessels with a known build year). At 21,992 gross tonnage it is larger than 84% of the other 2,665 general cargo ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 38 general cargo ships here under the China flag, 1.2% of the 3,081 on the register. The returns for 2019–2025 all give Guangzhou as port of registry.

Its 7,250 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 2.6 times the median of 2,820 t among the 2,469 general cargo ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 223.2 kg CO₂, 1.8 times the type median of 122.2 kg. It logged 2,689 hours at sea against a median of 3,044 hours for its type that year. 2.7% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for general cargo ships was 4.3%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2025 (7,250 t) and the lowest 2020 (2,344 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 42 in 2019 to 78 in 2022 (lower is more efficient). Of the 6 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 146.7% higher than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 14.3% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 3.2%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
