ASL POLARIS against its type
Built in 2009, it is 3 years older than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 91,373 gross tonnage it is larger than 90% 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 194 other vessels here, 124 of them bulk carriers. Its MRV returns name it MINERAL NINGBO for 2021–2022 and ASL POLARIS for 2025. The reported port of registry changed: Antwerp (2021–2022), then Majuro (2025).
Its 8,506 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 2.6 times the median of 3,239 t among the 3,731 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 488.1 kg CO₂, 1.9 times the type median of 260.7 kg. It logged 1,710 hours at sea against a median of 1,200 hours for its type that year. 2.3% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.7%. The one sister ship listed below with a 2025 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.
