BAM ARION against its type
Built in 2012, it is the same age as the median bulk carrier on this register (build year 2012, 6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 19,999 gross tonnage it is smaller 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. Its MRV returns name it VENUS BAY for 2018–2020, KYRI BAY for 2021–2022 and BAM ARION for 2024–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Douglas (2018–2022), then MAJURO (2024–2025).
Its 6,620 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 2.0 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 204.9 kg CO₂, 21% below the type median of 260.7 kg. It logged 2,728 hours at sea against a median of 1,200 hours for its type that year. 5.7% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.7%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2025 (6,620 t) and the lowest 2018 (1,526 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 75 in 2018 to 83 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 4 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 0 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 2,694 of 3,241 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 83rd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.6; this vessel reported 10.9.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 604,545,206 tonne-miles over 32,314 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 333.7% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2023, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 224.4% while distance sailed rose 272.5%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 12.9%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
