TAIHUA STAR against its type
Built in 2007, it is 5 years older than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 16,951 gross tonnage it is smaller than 96% 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 80 other vessels here, 51 of them bulk carriers. The returns for 2019–2021 all give Hong Kong, China as port of registry.
Its 3,205 t of CO₂ for 2021 is 19% below the median of 3,945 t among the 3,342 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2021. Per nautical mile it emitted 217.9 kg CO₂, 25% below the type median of 291.9 kg. It logged 1,228 hours at sea against a median of 1,190 hours for its type that year. 10.8% of its 2021 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.8%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2021 (3,205 t) and the lowest 2019 (877 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 46 in 2019 to 80 in 2021 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2021 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2021
Position 2,639 of 3,276 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 80th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 8.4; this vessel reported 11.5.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 278,897,302 tonne-miles over 14,704 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2021 was 265.3% higher than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2020 to 2021, emissions rose 23.2% while distance sailed fell 15.7%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 46.1%.That points mainly to how efficiently it sailed, rather than the other.
