ADS GALTESUND 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 39,643 gross tonnage it is larger than 60% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 1,601 bulk carriers here under the Panama flag, 19.7% of the 8,138 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 38 other vessels here, 23 of them bulk carriers. Its MRV returns name it ADS GALTESUND for 2018 and ELITE STAR for 2024. The reported port of registry changed: Arendal (2018), then Panama (2024).
Its 2,126 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 37% 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 268.2 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 264.0 kg. It logged 884 hours at sea against a median of 1,238 hours for its type that year. 2.2% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 2.9%. Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 54 in 2018 to 50 in 2024 (lower is more efficient). Of the 2 sister ships listed below with a 2024 return, 0 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2024
Position 1,441 of 2,858 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 50th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.9; this vessel reported 7.9.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 267,812,343 tonne-miles over 7,928 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 62.0% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, so the series has gaps.
From 2018 to 2024, emissions fell 62.0% while distance sailed fell 54.2%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 16.9%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
