BENJAMIN CONFIDENCE 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 21,502 gross tonnage it is smaller than 87% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 157 bulk carriers here under the Portugal flag, 1.9% of the 8,138 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 109 other vessels here, 72 of them bulk carriers. The reported port of registry changed: Manila (2018–2019), then MADEIRA (2020–2025).
Its 3,801 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 17% above the median of 3,239 t among the 3,731 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 198.7 kg CO₂, 24% below the type median of 260.7 kg. It logged 1,689 hours at sea against a median of 1,200 hours for its type that year. 5.2% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.7%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2022 (6,899 t) and the lowest 2023 (263 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 92 in 2018 to 60 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 6 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 1,961 of 3,241 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 60th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.6; this vessel reported 8.3.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 455,201,198 tonne-miles over 19,125 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 28.1% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2021, 2024, so the series has gaps.
From 2023 to 2025, emissions rose 1,347.2% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 37.2%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
