OCEAN BROTHER against its type
Built in 2000, it is 12 years older than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 16,963 gross tonnage it is smaller than 96% 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 323 other vessels here, 238 of them bulk carriers. The returns for 2018–2019 all give VALLETTA as port of registry.
Its 5,586 t of CO₂ for 2019 is 33% above the median of 4,211 t among the 3,264 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2019. Per nautical mile it emitted 177.3 kg CO₂, 39% below the type median of 290.4 kg. It logged 3,332 hours at sea against a median of 1,454 hours for its type that year. 2.2% of its 2019 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.9%. Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 83 in 2018 to 49 in 2019 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2019 return reported a higher or equal CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2019
Position 1,548 of 3,161 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 49th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 8.1; this vessel reported 8.1.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 693,078,164 tonne-miles over 31,505 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2019 was 175.1% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2018 to 2019, emissions rose 175.1% while distance sailed rose 205.2%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 9.9%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
