ISLAND BAY against its type
Built in 2014, it is 2 years newer than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 23,386 gross tonnage it is smaller than 82% 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 80 other vessels here, 51 of them bulk carriers. The returns for 2018–2023 all give HONG KONG as port of registry.
Its 1,974 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 42% 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 249.2 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 272.6 kg. It logged 708 hours at sea against a median of 1,186 hours for its type that year. 13.1% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 4.3%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2020 (4,167 t) and the lowest 2023 (1,974 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 95 in 2018 to 87 in 2023 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2023
Position 2,843 of 3,262 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 87th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 8.0; this vessel reported 13.0.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 151,608,295 tonne-miles over 7,920 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 4.3% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, 2021, 2022, so the series has gaps.
From 2020 to 2023, emissions fell 52.6% while distance sailed fell 52.8%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 0.3%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
