SALDANHA BAY against its type
Built in 2015, it is 3 years newer than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 21,801 gross tonnage it is smaller than 86% 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, 64 of them bulk carriers. The reported port of registry changed: Panama (2018), then Hong Kong (2021), then Hong Kong, China (2022).
Its 3,658 t of CO₂ for 2022 is close to the median of 3,908 t among the 3,902 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2022. Per nautical mile it emitted 195.7 kg CO₂, 32% below the type median of 288.1 kg. It logged 1,747 hours at sea against a median of 1,254 hours for its type that year. 3.7% of its 2022 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 4.2%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (7,867 t) and the lowest 2021 (3,360 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 100 in 2018 to 51 in 2022 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2022
Position 1,901 of 3,692 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 51st percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 8.4; this vessel reported 8.5.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 428,339,578 tonne-miles over 18,695 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2022 was 53.5% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, 2020, so the series has gaps.
From 2021 to 2022, emissions rose 8.9% while distance sailed rose 19.8%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 9.2%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
