GH SEABIRD against its type
Built in 2016, it is 4 years newer than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 36,280 gross tonnage it is larger than 55% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 1,589 bulk carriers here under the Liberia flag, 19.5% of the 8,138 on the register. Its MRV returns name it GH SEABIRD for 2018–2020 and SEABIRD for 2023–2024. The reported port of registry changed: Majuro (2018–2020), then Monrovia (2023–2024).
Its 1,555 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 54% 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 339.3 kg CO₂, 29% above the type median of 264.0 kg. It logged 575 hours at sea against a median of 1,238 hours for its type that year. 3.9% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 2.9%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (9,125 t) and the lowest 2024 (1,555 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 1 in 2018 to 73 in 2024 (lower is more efficient). Of the 3 comparable vessels listed below with a 2024 return, 3 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2024
Position 2,097 of 2,858 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 73rd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.9; this vessel reported 10.0.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 155,662,663 tonne-miles over 4,583 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 15.1% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2021, 2022, so the series has gaps.
From 2023 to 2024, emissions fell 72.3% while distance sailed fell 76.3%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 16.8%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
