MERCURY OCEAN against its type
Built in 2008, it is 4 years older than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 30,004 gross tonnage it is smaller than 72% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 1,601 bulk carriers here under the Panama flag, 19.7% of the 8,138 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 114 other vessels here, 76 of them bulk carriers.
Its 1,356 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 60% below the median of 3,377 t among the 3,676 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 262.2 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 264.0 kg. It logged 433 hours at sea against a median of 1,238 hours for its type that year. 2.5% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 2.9%. Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 33 in 2018 to 70 in 2024 (lower is more efficient). Of the 5 sister ships listed below with a 2024 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2024
Position 1,987 of 2,858 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 70th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.9; this vessel reported 9.6.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 140,812,046 tonne-miles over 5,171 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 46.4% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, so the series has gaps.
From 2018 to 2024, emissions fell 46.4% while distance sailed fell 38.5%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 12.9%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
