KANG CHENG against its type
Built in 2004, it is 8 years older than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). It is one of 637 bulk carriers here under the Hong Kong flag, 7.8% of the 8,138 on the register. The returns for 2019–2025 all give Hong Kong, China as port of registry.
Its 3,438 t of CO₂ for 2023 is close to the median of 3,386 t among the 3,573 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 266.7 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 272.6 kg. It logged 1,114 hours at sea against a median of 1,186 hours for its type that year. 4.3% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 4.3%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (11,335 t) and the lowest 2020 (1,919 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 44 in 2019 to 62 in 2023 (lower is more efficient). Of the 2 comparable vessels listed below with a 2023 return, 0 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.
No EU/EEA voyages were reported for 2024, 2025: zero CO₂ and zero time at sea, left out of the trend and of any ranking.

Efficiency against its own type2023
Position 2,020 of 3,262 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 62nd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 8.0; this vessel reported 8.9.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 384,168,715 tonne-miles over 12,891 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 69.7% lower than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2022 to 2023, emissions fell 50.9% while distance sailed fell 54.3%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 7.4%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
