AKSON SARA against its type
Built in 2010, it is 2 years older than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 19,992 gross tonnage it is smaller than 90% 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. Its MRV returns name it STRATEGIC ENCOUNTER for 2018–2021 and AKSON SARA for 2022–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Singapore (2018–2021), then Panama (2022–2025).
Its 936 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 72% 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 228.0 kg CO₂, 14% below the type median of 264.0 kg. It logged 623 hours at sea against a median of 1,238 hours for its type that year. 9.8% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 2.9%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (5,590 t) and the lowest 2024 (936 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 83 in 2018 to 90 in 2023 (lower is more efficient). Of the 5 comparable vessels listed below with a 2024 return, 1 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.
No EU/EEA voyages were reported for 2025: zero CO₂ and zero time at sea, left out of the trend and of any ranking.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 77.0% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, so the series has gaps.
From 2023 to 2024, emissions fell 75.7% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 17.7%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.

This page draws on 7 MRV reporting years, 4 of 5 vessel particulars and a name history. Not found in the sources for this vessel: an efficiency ranking, AIS movements in Norwegian waters, a licensed photograph, a sanctions listing and US port state inspections.
Empty means unreported, never zero. How EEOI, distance, percentiles and sister ships are handled is explained under reading a vessel page. Something wrong? See corrections.
