APOLLONIA: CO₂ emissions 2018–2025

APOLLONIA 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 17,697 gross tonnage it is smaller than 94% 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. Its MRV returns name it APOLLONIA for 2018–2019, MASSA J for 2020–2023 and MJ MASSA for 2024–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Valletta (2018–2019), then BRIDGE TOWN (2020–2024), then Bridgetown (2025).

Its 2,330 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 28% 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 226.1 kg CO₂, 13% below the type median of 260.7 kg. It logged 946 hours at sea against a median of 1,200 hours for its type that year. 7.2% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.7%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (8,132 t) and the lowest 2022 (515 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 90 in 2018 to 94 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). The one comparable vessel listed below with a 2025 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 3,037 of 3,241 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 94th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.6; this vessel reported 14.6.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 159,937,543 tonne-miles over 10,307 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 71.3% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2021, so the series has gaps.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 38.5% while distance sailed fell 36.6%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 2.9%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.

Sources and how to read this

• Emissions: EU MRV publication (THETIS-MRV), reporting years 2018–2025, published by the European Commission.
• Vessel particulars: Wikidata (CC0).

This page draws on 7 MRV reporting years, an efficiency ranking, 4 of 5 vessel particulars and a name history. Not found in the sources for this vessel: 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.
