VANTAGE BLADE against its type
Built in 2009, it is 3 years older than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 17,023 gross tonnage it is smaller than 95% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 1,589 bulk carriers here under the Liberia flag, 19.5% of the 8,138 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 80 other vessels here, 51 of them bulk carriers. Its MRV returns name it VANTAGE BLADE for 2018 and VANTAGE SWORD for 2021–2023. The returns for 2018–2023 all give Monrovia as port of registry.
Its 1,295 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 62% below the median of 3,386 t among the 3,573 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 213.8 kg CO₂, 22% below the type median of 272.6 kg. It logged 638 hours at sea against a median of 1,186 hours for its type that year. 3.4% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 4.3%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2021 (4,699 t) and the lowest 2023 (1,295 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 99 in 2021 to 79 in 2022 (lower is more efficient).

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 10.1% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, 2020, so the series has gaps.
From 2022 to 2023, emissions fell 65.9% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 6.0%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
