BRAVE M 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 17,542 gross tonnage it is smaller than 94% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 35 bulk carriers here under the Belize flag, 0.4% of the 8,138 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 109 other vessels here, 72 of them bulk carriers. Its MRV returns name it MARIA L for 2018–2020 and BRAVE M for 2024–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Monrovia (2018–2020), then CITY OF BELIZE (2024), then Belize City (2025).
Its 2,087 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 36% 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 189.0 kg CO₂, 28% below the type median of 260.7 kg. It logged 1,047 hours at sea against a median of 1,200 hours for its type that year. 4.8% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.7%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (6,454 t) and the lowest 2020 (794 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 83 in 2018 to 93 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 4 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 0 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 3,018 of 3,241 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 93rd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.6; this vessel reported 14.2.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 146,448,421 tonne-miles over 11,041 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 66.8% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2021, 2022, 2023, so the series has gaps.
From 2020 to 2025, emissions rose 162.7% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 16.1%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
