ARKLOW SPIRIT against its type

Built in 2013, it is 1 year newer than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 22,868 gross tonnage it is smaller than 83% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 2 bulk carriers here under the Ireland flag, 0.0% of the 8,138 on the register. Arklow Shipping is linked to 2 vessels on this register. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Arklow as port of registry.

Its 1,584 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 51% 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 237.2 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 260.7 kg. It logged 630 hours at sea against a median of 1,199 hours for its type that year. 12.1% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.7%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (11,548 t) and the lowest 2025 (1,584 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 94 in 2018 to 93 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 4 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 3,013 of 3,241 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 93rd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.6; this vessel reported 14.2.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 111,706,629 tonne-miles over 6,678 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 86.3% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 75.5% while distance sailed fell 76.2%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 3.3%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
