MINERAL BELGIUM against its type

Built in 2005, it is 7 years older than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 88,930 gross tonnage it is larger than 88% 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 194 other vessels here, 124 of them bulk carriers. The returns for 2019–2021 all give HONG KONG as port of registry.

Its 8,101 t of CO₂ for 2019 is 1.9 times the median of 4,211 t among the 3,264 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2019. Per nautical mile it emitted 575.0 kg CO₂, 2.0 times the type median of 290.4 kg. It logged 1,753 hours at sea against a median of 1,454 hours for its type that year. 6.6% of its 2019 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.9%. Of the 2 sister ships listed below with a 2019 return, 1 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

No EU/EEA voyages were reported for 2021: zero CO₂ and zero time at sea, left out of the trend and of any ranking.
