MELBOURNE SPIRIT against its type
Built in 2013, it is 1 year newer than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 23,405 gross tonnage it is smaller than 81% 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 95 other vessels here, 41 of them bulk carriers. The reported port of registry changed: Hong Kong (2020), then Majuro (2023).
Its 4,437 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 31% above the median of 3,386 t among the 3,573 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 227.6 kg CO₂, 17% below the type median of 272.6 kg. It logged 1,858 hours at sea against a median of 1,186 hours for its type that year. 6.4% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 4.3%. Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 70 in 2020 to 72 in 2023 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2023
Position 2,346 of 3,262 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 72nd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 8.0; this vessel reported 10.0.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 441,953,187 tonne-miles over 19,498 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 194.1% higher than in 2020, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2021, 2022, so the series has gaps.
From 2020 to 2023, emissions rose 194.1% while distance sailed rose 200.3%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 2.1%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
