SPAR NORMA against its type
Built in 2017, it is 5 years newer than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 35,851 gross tonnage it is larger than 54% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 75 bulk carriers here under the Norway flag, 0.9% of the 8,138 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 139 other vessels here, 125 of them bulk carriers. Its MRV returns name it YANGZHOU CONFIDENCE for 2019–2021 and SPAR NORMA for 2023–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Majuro (2019–2021), then BERGEN (2023–2025).
Its 3,485 t of CO₂ for 2023 is close to the median of 3,386 t among the 3,573 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 268.2 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 272.6 kg. It logged 1,177 hours at sea against a median of 1,186 hours for its type that year. 4.5% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 4.3%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (5,250 t) and the lowest 2023 (3,485 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 11 in 2019 to 16 in 2023 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2023 return reported a higher or equal CO₂ per nautical mile.
No EU/EEA voyages were reported for 2024, 2025: zero CO₂ and zero time at sea, left out of the trend and of any ranking.

Efficiency against its own type2023
Position 533 of 3,262 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 16th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 8.0; this vessel reported 5.4.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 641,804,788 tonne-miles over 12,993 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 33.6% lower than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, 2022, so the series has gaps.
From 2021 to 2023, emissions fell 6.1% while distance sailed rose 18.1%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 20.5%.
