CLIPPER MEDWAY 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 22,656 gross tonnage it is smaller than 85% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 1,603 bulk carriers here under the Marshall Islands flag, 19.7% of the 8,138 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 127 other vessels here, 9 of them bulk carriers. V-Ships is linked to 16 vessels on this register. Its MRV returns name it SFL MEDWAY for 2018–2020 and CLIPPER MEDWAY for 2023–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Hong Kong (2018–2020), then Majuro (2023–2025).
Its 993 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 69% 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 209.4 kg CO₂, 20% below the type median of 260.7 kg. It logged 496 hours at sea against a median of 1,200 hours for its type that year. 3.1% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.7%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2023 (8,236 t) and the lowest 2025 (993 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 84 in 2018 to 46 in 2024 (lower is more efficient). Of the 2 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 0 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2024
Position 1,318 of 2,858 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 46th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.9; this vessel reported 7.6.
Across the 14 ranked vessels operated by V-Ships, the median percentile is 59. This vessel is more efficient than its own fleet median.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 952,317,169 tonne-miles over 29,938 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 84.8% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, 2021, 2022, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 86.3% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 13.7%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
