GOLD DUST against its type
Built in 2012, it is the same age as the median bulk carrier on this register (build year 2012, 6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 17,019 gross tonnage it is smaller than 95% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 1,603 bulk carriers here under the Marshall Islands flag, 19.7% of the 8,138 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 323 other vessels here, 238 of them bulk carriers.
Its 4,130 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 22% above the median of 3,386 t among the 3,573 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 234.5 kg CO₂, 14% below the type median of 272.6 kg. It logged 1,806 hours at sea against a median of 1,186 hours for its type that year. 14.3% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 4.3%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2021 (6,602 t) and the lowest 2020 (1,939 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 94 in 2018 to 92 in 2023 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2023
Position 2,986 of 3,262 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 92nd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 8.0; this vessel reported 14.6.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 282,075,820 tonne-miles over 17,612 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 12.8% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2022 to 2023, emissions rose 26.8% while distance sailed rose 34.7%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 5.9%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
