ASTERION against its type
Built in 2017, it is 5 years newer than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 44,043 gross tonnage it is larger than 76% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 1,589 bulk carriers here under the Liberia flag, 19.5% of the 8,138 on the register. The returns for 2018–2024 all give Monrovia as port of registry.
Its 5,955 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 1.8 times the median of 3,377 t among the 3,676 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 285.3 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 264.0 kg. It logged 1,867 hours at sea against a median of 1,238 hours for its type that year. 2.7% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 2.9%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2021 (14,957 t) and the lowest 2022 (2,327 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 27 in 2018 to 12 in 2024 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2024
Position 333 of 2,858 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 12th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.9; this vessel reported 5.0.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 1,203,084,848 tonne-miles over 20,875 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 39.3% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2023, so the series has gaps.
From 2022 to 2024, emissions rose 156.0% while distance sailed rose 171.8%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 5.8%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
