GOLDEN SHARK against its type
Built in 1997, it is 15 years older than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 11,194 gross tonnage it is smaller than 98% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 29 bulk carriers here under the Palau flag, 0.4% of the 8,138 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 95 other vessels here, 64 of them bulk carriers. Its MRV returns name it SEBAT for 2018–2021 and GOLDEN SHARK for 2022–2025. The reported port of registry changed: PANAMA (2019–2021), then MALAKAL HARBOR (2022–2025).
Its 478 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 86% below the median of 3,386 t among the 3,573 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 194.9 kg CO₂, 28% below the type median of 272.6 kg. It logged 364 hours at sea against a median of 1,186 hours for its type that year. 7.0% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 4.3%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (6,310 t) and the lowest 2023 (478 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 1 in 2018 to 89 in 2021 (lower is more efficient).
No EU/EEA voyages were reported for 2025: zero CO₂ and zero time at sea, left out of the trend and of any ranking.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 92.4% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2024, so the series has gaps.
From 2022 to 2023, emissions fell 57.4% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 9.7%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
