BALKAN MARIN against its type
Built in 2010, it is 3 years newer than the median general cargo ship on this register, which was built in 2007 (2,852 vessels with a known build year). At 23,985 gross tonnage it is larger than 90% of the other 2,665 general cargo ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 160 general cargo ships here under the Barbados flag, 5.2% of the 3,081 on the register. Its MRV returns name it PS VALLETTA for 2021–2023 and BALKAN MARIN for 2024–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Valletta (2021–2023), then Bridgetown (2024–2025).
Its 1,843 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 35% below the median of 2,820 t among the 2,469 general cargo ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 205.6 kg CO₂, 1.7 times the type median of 122.2 kg. It logged 1,449 hours at sea against a median of 3,044 hours for its type that year. 5.2% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for general cargo ships was 4.3%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2023 (4,831 t) and the lowest 2021 (860 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 97 in 2022 to 93 in 2023 (lower is more efficient). Of the 6 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 1 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2023
Position 3,020 of 3,262 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 93rd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 8.0; this vessel reported 15.3.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 315,370,104 tonne-miles over 20,376 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 114.4% higher than in 2021, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 5.8% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 16.7%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
