CAPTAIN LEFTERIS against its type
Built in 2013, it is 1 year newer than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 34,456 gross tonnage it is smaller than 53% 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 180 other vessels here, 74 of them bulk carriers. Its MRV returns name it IONIC for 2018–2021 and CAPTAIN LEFTERIS for 2022–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Piraeus (2018–2021), then Majuro (2022), then Madeira (2024–2025).
Its 5,806 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 1.8 times the median of 3,239 t among the 3,731 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 334.9 kg CO₂, 28% above the type median of 260.7 kg. It logged 1,853 hours at sea against a median of 1,200 hours for its type that year. 7.7% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.7%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2025 (5,806 t) and the lowest 2022 (3,157 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 51 in 2020 to 63 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 6 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 6 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 2,031 of 3,241 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 63rd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.6; this vessel reported 8.5.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 683,914,016 tonne-miles over 17,336 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 48.8% higher than in 2020, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2023, so the series has gaps.
From 2022 to 2025, emissions rose 83.9% while distance sailed rose 83.7%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 0.1%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
