BELFOREST against its type
Built in 2015, it is 3 years newer than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 34,773 gross tonnage it is smaller than 51% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 1,601 bulk carriers here under the Panama flag, 19.7% of the 8,138 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 323 other vessels here, 238 of them bulk carriers. The reported port of registry changed: Egersund (2022), then ERGESUND (2023–2025).
Its 1,215 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 62% below the median of 3,239 t among the 3,731 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 268.0 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 260.7 kg. It logged 471 hours at sea against a median of 1,200 hours for its type that year. 3.3% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.7%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2023 (4,724 t) and the lowest 2025 (1,215 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 92 in 2022 to 47 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 5 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 4 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 1,527 of 3,241 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 47th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.6; this vessel reported 7.4.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 164,862,958 tonne-miles over 4,533 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 29.6% lower than in 2022, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2024, so the series has gaps.
From 2023 to 2025, emissions fell 74.3% while distance sailed fell 77.9%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 16.6%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
