ALBANY SOUND against its type
Built in 2002, it is 10 years older than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 16,963 gross tonnage it is smaller than 96% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 127 bulk carriers here under the Barbados flag, 1.6% of the 8,138 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 323 other vessels here, 238 of them bulk carriers. Its MRV returns name it ALBANY SOUND for 2020 and PRINCESS FAYZAH for 2021–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Hong Kong, China (2020), then Bridgetown (2021–2025).
Its 1,128 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 65% below the median of 3,239 t among the 3,731 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 163.6 kg CO₂, 37% below the type median of 260.7 kg. It logged 628 hours at sea against a median of 1,200 hours for its type that year. 3.7% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.7%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2024 (6,894 t) and the lowest 2022 (716 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 87 in 2021 to 74 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 4 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 2,400 of 3,241 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 74th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.6; this vessel reported 9.6.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 117,656,934 tonne-miles over 6,898 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 28.8% higher than in 2020, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 83.6% while distance sailed fell 80.2%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 17.4%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
