WEST BAY against its type
Built in 2004, it is 8 years older than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 30,124 gross tonnage it is smaller than 71% 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 returns for 2018–2024 all give Hong Kong, China as port of registry.
Its 2,059 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 39% below the median of 3,377 t among the 3,676 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 245.0 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 264.0 kg. It logged 765 hours at sea against a median of 1,238 hours for its type that year. 2.1% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 2.9%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2020 (7,697 t) and the lowest 2024 (2,059 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 52 in 2018 to 28 in 2024 (lower is more efficient). The one comparable vessel listed below with a 2024 return reported a higher or equal CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2024
Position 787 of 2,858 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 28th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.9; this vessel reported 6.3.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 326,860,318 tonne-miles over 8,406 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 45.7% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2023 to 2024, emissions fell 37.8% while distance sailed fell 34.2%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 5.5%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
