KANG SHUN 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). At 30,963 gross tonnage it is smaller than 69% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 137 bulk carriers here under the China flag, 1.7% of the 8,138 on the register. The reported port of registry changed: Hong Kong (2018), then Guangzhou (2019–2025).
Its 2,598 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 23% 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 356.3 kg CO₂, 31% above the type median of 272.6 kg. It logged 779 hours at sea against a median of 1,186 hours for its type that year. 5.3% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 4.3%. Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 30 in 2018 to 51 in 2023 (lower is more efficient). Of the 2 comparable vessels listed below with a 2023 return, 2 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 1,670 of 3,262 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 51st percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 8.0; this vessel reported 8.1.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 321,566,832 tonne-miles over 7,293 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 30.6% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2022, so the series has gaps.
From 2018 to 2023, emissions fell 30.6% while distance sailed fell 39.6%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 14.8%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
