SPAR OCTANS 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 36,313 gross tonnage it is larger than 55% 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 118 other vessels here, 105 of them bulk carriers. Fleet Management Limited is linked to 40 vessels on this register. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Bergen as port of registry.
Its 5,061 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 49% above the median of 3,386 t among the 3,573 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 259.7 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 272.6 kg. It logged 1,990 hours at sea against a median of 1,186 hours for its type that year. 3.9% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 4.3%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2021 (7,540 t) and the lowest 2022 (1,032 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 57 in 2018 to 33 in 2023 (lower is more efficient).
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 1,080 of 3,262 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 33rd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 8.0; this vessel reported 6.8.
Across the 24 ranked vessels operated by Fleet Management Limited, the median percentile is 38. This vessel is more efficient than its own fleet median.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 747,577,548 tonne-miles over 19,487 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 11.2% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2022 to 2023, emissions rose 390.4% while distance sailed rose 501.3%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 18.4%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
