DARLING RIVER against its type
Built in 2009, it is 3 years older than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 20,987 gross tonnage it is smaller than 88% 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 2018–2021 all give Hong Kong, China as port of registry.
Its 2,680 t of CO₂ for 2021 is 32% below the median of 3,945 t among the 3,342 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2021. Per nautical mile it emitted 276.7 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 291.9 kg. It logged 936 hours at sea against a median of 1,190 hours for its type that year. 5.1% of its 2021 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.8%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (5,987 t) and the lowest 2021 (2,680 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 66 in 2018 to 98 in 2021 (lower is more efficient). Of the 3 comparable vessels listed below with a 2021 return, 3 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2021
Position 3,224 of 3,276 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 98th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 8.4; this vessel reported 22.5.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 118,974,256 tonne-miles over 9,688 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2021 was 55.2% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, so the series has gaps.
From 2020 to 2021, emissions fell 45.1% while distance sailed fell 57.0%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 27.7%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
