LOWLANDS HOPPER 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 21,718 gross tonnage it is smaller than 87% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 1,603 bulk carriers here under the Marshall Islands flag, 19.7% 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 PACIFIC BULKER for 2018–2020, LOWLANDS HOPPER for 2022 and LOWLANDS SHARK for 2023–2024. The reported port of registry changed: PANAMA (2018–2020), then VALLETTA (2022–2023), then Majuro (2024).
Its 4,571 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 35% above the median of 3,377 t among the 3,676 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 242.3 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 264.0 kg. It logged 2,062 hours at sea against a median of 1,238 hours for its type that year. 7.3% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 2.9%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2024 (4,571 t) and the lowest 2022 (2,051 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 44 in 2018 to 77 in 2024 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2024
Position 2,212 of 2,858 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 77th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.9; this vessel reported 10.6.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 430,368,173 tonne-miles over 18,862 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 60.4% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, 2021, so the series has gaps.
From 2023 to 2024, emissions rose 5.8% while distance sailed fell 3.3%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 9.5%.That points mainly to how efficiently it sailed, rather than the other.
