ALPHA ETHOS against its type
Built in 2017, it is 5 years newer than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 44,069 gross tonnage it is larger than 76% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 1,603 bulk carriers here under the Marshall Islands flag, 19.7% of the 8,138 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 204 other vessels here, 70 of them bulk carriers. The returns for 2018–2021 all give Majuro as port of registry.
Its 3,282 t of CO₂ for 2023 is close to the median of 3,386 t among the 3,573 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 292.6 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 272.6 kg. It logged 984 hours at sea against a median of 1,186 hours for its type that year. 4.1% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 4.3%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (14,092 t) and the lowest 2018 (1,672 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 13 in 2018 to 38 in 2023 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2023
Position 1,257 of 3,262 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 38th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 8.0; this vessel reported 7.1.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 459,698,880 tonne-miles over 11,217 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 96.3% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2022, so the series has gaps.
From 2021 to 2023, emissions fell 63.2% while distance sailed fell 57.3%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 13.7%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
