GOLDEN ASO against its type
Built in 2015, it is 3 years newer than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 93,518 gross tonnage it is larger than 95% 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 121 other vessels here, 78 of them bulk carriers. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Hong Kong as port of registry.
Its 3,606 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 11% above the median of 3,239 t among the 3,731 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 408.1 kg CO₂, 1.6 times the type median of 260.7 kg. It logged 855 hours at sea against a median of 1,200 hours for its type that year. 2.8% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.7%. Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 2 in 2018 to 11 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 4 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 4 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 369 of 3,241 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 11th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.6; this vessel reported 4.9.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 740,472,279 tonne-miles over 8,837 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 26.7% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, so the series has gaps.
From 2018 to 2025, emissions fell 26.7% while distance sailed fell 31.2%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 6.5%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
