PROTECTR ST NICKOLAS against its type
Built in 2011, it is 1 year older than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 32,962 gross tonnage it is smaller than 60% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 1,589 bulk carriers here under the Liberia flag, 19.5% of the 8,138 on the register. Its MRV returns name it JIA LONG SHAN for 2018–2021, PROTECTOR ST. NICKOLAS for 2022 and HONCHO for 2024–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Hong Kong (2018–2021), then Monrovia (2022–2025).
Its 403 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 88% below the median of 3,239 t among the 3,731 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 551.7 kg CO₂, 2.1 times the type median of 260.7 kg. It logged 68 hours at sea against a median of 1,200 hours for its type that year. 29.3% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.7%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2022 (5,406 t) and the lowest 2025 (403 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 60 in 2019 to 48 in 2024 (lower is more efficient). The one comparable vessel listed below with a 2025 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 55.1% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2023, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 89.4% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 56.2%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
