SPAR VIRGO against its type
Built in 2005, it is 7 years older than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 32,474 gross tonnage it is smaller than 63% 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 114 other vessels here, 111 of them bulk carriers. Fleet Management Limited is linked to 40 vessels on this register. The returns for 2019–2024 all give BERGEN as port of registry.
Its 8,876 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 2.6 times the median of 3,377 t among the 3,676 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 285.2 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 264.0 kg. It logged 2,994 hours at sea against a median of 1,238 hours for its type that year. 4.1% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 2.9%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2024 (8,876 t) and the lowest 2022 (566 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 70 in 2019 to 48 in 2024 (lower is more efficient). Of the 2 sister ships listed below with a 2024 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2024
Position 1,366 of 2,858 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 48th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.9; this vessel reported 7.7.
Across the 24 ranked vessels operated by Fleet Management Limited, the median percentile is 38. This vessel is less efficient than its own fleet median.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 1,149,787,565 tonne-miles over 31,122 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 285.0% higher than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, so the series has gaps.
From 2023 to 2024, emissions rose 573.0% while distance sailed rose 514.1%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 9.6%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
