AQUA LADY against its type
Built in 2004, it is 8 years older than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 39,964 gross tonnage it is larger than 61% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 479 bulk carriers here under the Malta flag, 5.9% of the 8,138 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 360 other vessels here, 303 of them bulk carriers. The returns for 2018–2025 all give VALLETTA as port of registry.
Its 2,788 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 14% below the median of 3,238 t among the 3,732 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 292.7 kg CO₂, 12% above the type median of 260.7 kg. It logged 893 hours at sea against a median of 1,199 hours for its type that year. 9.3% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.7%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2025 (2,788 t) and the lowest 2018 (2,420 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 74 in 2018 to 45 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 4 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 4 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 1,447 of 3,241 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 45th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.6; this vessel reported 7.2.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 387,204,167 tonne-miles over 9,525 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 15.2% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, 2020, 2022, 2023, 2024, so the series has gaps.
From 2021 to 2025, emissions rose 7.0% while distance sailed rose 17.9%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 9.3%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
