BELMEKEN against its type
Built in 2010, it is 2 years older than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). It is one of 127 bulk carriers here under the Barbados flag, 1.6% of the 8,138 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 114 other vessels here, 111 of them bulk carriers. Its MRV returns name it BELMEKEN for 2018–2023 and GOLDEN EMAN for 2024–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Valletta (2018–2021), then VALETTA (2022), then Valletta (2023), then BRIDGETOWN (2024–2025).
Its 3,150 t of CO₂ for 2025 is close to the median of 3,239 t among the 3,731 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 214.9 kg CO₂, 18% below the type median of 260.7 kg. It logged 1,450 hours at sea against a median of 1,200 hours for its type that year. 8.9% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.7%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (5,608 t) and the lowest 2020 (1,640 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 0 in 2018 to 97 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 4 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 1 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 3,137 of 3,241 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 97th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.6; this vessel reported 17.5.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 180,199,085 tonne-miles over 14,660 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 38.0% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 35.1% while distance sailed fell 35.7%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 0.8%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
