BULK TRIDENT: CO₂ emissions 2018–2025

BULK TRIDENT against its type

Built in 2005, it is 7 years older than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 30,051 gross tonnage it is smaller than 71% 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 360 other vessels here, 303 of them bulk carriers. Its MRV returns name it BULK TRIDENT for 2018–2021 and SAFI ALFA for 2023–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Panama (2018–2021), then MONROVIA (2023).

Its 3,834 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 18% 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 253.1 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 260.7 kg. It logged 1,819 hours at sea against a median of 1,200 hours for its type that year. 11.4% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.7%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (7,087 t) and the lowest 2020 (2,536 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 46 in 2018 to 30 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 4 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 979 of 3,241 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 30th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.6; this vessel reported 6.3.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 611,424,242 tonne-miles over 15,149 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 45.9% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2022, so the series has gaps.

From 2023 to 2025, emissions fell 19.0% while distance sailed fell 5.9%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 14.0%.That points mainly to how efficiently it sailed, rather than the other.

Sources and how to read this

• Emissions: EU MRV publication (THETIS-MRV), reporting years 2018–2025, published by the European Commission.
• Vessel particulars: Wikidata (CC0).

This page draws on 7 MRV reporting years, an efficiency ranking, 5 of 5 vessel particulars and a name history. Not found in the sources for this vessel: AIS movements in Norwegian waters, a licensed photograph, a sanctions listing and US port state inspections.

Empty means unreported, never zero. How EEOI, distance, percentiles and sister ships are handled is explained under reading a vessel page. Something wrong? See corrections.
