BERNIS against its type
Built in 2011, it is 1 year older than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 22,549 gross tonnage it is smaller than 85% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 127 bulk carriers here under the Barbados flag, 1.6% of the 8,138 on the register. Its MRV returns name it RAINBOW QUEST for 2018–2019, MALEN for 2020, BERNIS for 2023–2024 and HASOONLIT for 2025. The reported port of registry changed: Gibraltar (2018–2019), then Majuro (2020–2024), then BRIDGETOWN (2025).
Its 4,308 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 33% 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 257.0 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 260.7 kg. It logged 1,743 hours at sea against a median of 1,200 hours for its type that year. 7.8% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.7%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2023 (8,379 t) and the lowest 2020 (1,855 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 54 in 2019 to 74 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 3 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 2,418 of 3,241 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 74th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.6; this vessel reported 9.7.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 445,533,609 tonne-miles over 16,762 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 12.2% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2021, 2022, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 41.6% while distance sailed rose 51.7%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 6.7%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
