DAKOTA against its type

Built in 2006, it is 6 years older than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 5,222 gross tonnage it is smaller than 100% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 479 bulk carriers here under the Malta flag, 5.9% of the 8,138 on the register. The returns for 2018–2025 all give valletta as port of registry.

Its 2,677 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 17% 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 87.3 kg CO₂, 67% below the type median of 260.7 kg. It logged 3,789 hours at sea against a median of 1,200 hours for its type that year. 6.4% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.7%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2022 (2,844 t) and the lowest 2019 (1,619 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 96 in 2018 to 97 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 5 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 3,154 of 3,241 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 97th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.6; this vessel reported 18.3.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 146,460,613 tonne-miles over 30,664 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 12.9% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 4.3% while distance sailed rose 13.3%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 8.0%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
