SITC TAISHAN against its type
Built in 2010, it is 2 years older than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 32,315 gross tonnage it is smaller than 65% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 14 bulk carriers here under the Denmark flag, 0.2% of the 8,138 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 360 other vessels here, 303 of them bulk carriers. Its MRV returns name it SITC TAISHAN for 2020 and XO COPENHAGEN for 2023–2024. The reported port of registry changed: Hong Kong, China (2020), then Hellerup (2023–2024).
Its 4,384 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 30% above the median of 3,377 t among the 3,676 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 266.8 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 264.0 kg. It logged 1,643 hours at sea against a median of 1,238 hours for its type that year. 7.8% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 2.9%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2023 (8,595 t) and the lowest 2020 (1,890 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 23 in 2020 to 55 in 2024 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2024 return reported a higher or equal CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2024
Position 1,571 of 2,858 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 55th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.9; this vessel reported 8.3.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 530,799,032 tonne-miles over 16,432 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 132.0% higher than in 2020, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2021, 2022, so the series has gaps.
From 2023 to 2024, emissions fell 49.0% while distance sailed fell 45.6%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 6.3%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
