ARKLOW SPRAY against its type

Built in 2014, it is 2 years 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 4,764 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 47% above the median of 3,239 t among the 3,731 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 244.1 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 260.7 kg. It logged 1,661 hours at sea against a median of 1,200 hours for its type that year. 8.4% 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 (13,862 t) and the lowest 2024 (527 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 98 in 2018 to 66 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 5 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 5 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 2,133 of 3,241 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 66th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.6; this vessel reported 8.8.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 544,484,571 tonne-miles over 19,520 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 65.6% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 803.4% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 14.0%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
