ZHOUSHAN ISLAND against its type

Built in 2013, it is 1 year newer than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). 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 360 other vessels here, 303 of them bulk carriers. Pacific Basin Shipping Limited is linked to 14 vessels on this register. The returns for 2020–2024 all give Hong Kong, China as port of registry.

Its 1,695 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 50% 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 271.4 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 264.0 kg. It logged 513 hours at sea against a median of 1,238 hours for its type that year. 0.8% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 2.9%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2020 (3,143 t) and the lowest 2024 (1,695 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 32 in 2020 to 47 in 2024 (lower is more efficient). Of the 3 sister ships listed below with a 2024 return, 1 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2024

Position 1,351 of 2,858 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 47th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.9; this vessel reported 7.7.

Across the 14 ranked vessels operated by Pacific Basin Shipping Limited, the median percentile is 65. This vessel is more efficient than its own fleet median.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 220,153,247 tonne-miles over 6,246 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 46.1% lower than in 2020, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2022, 2023, so the series has gaps.

From 2021 to 2024, emissions fell 30.0% while distance sailed fell 16.9%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 15.7%.
