DEFENSE against its type
Built in 2003, it is 9 years older than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 29,862 gross tonnage it is smaller than 72% 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 102 other vessels here, 45 of them bulk carriers. Its MRV returns name it SKUA for 2018–2019 and DEFENSE for 2024.
Its 2,653 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 21% below the median of 3,377 t among the 3,676 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 298.3 kg CO₂, 13% above the type median of 264.0 kg. It logged 946 hours at sea against a median of 1,238 hours for its type that year. 2.7% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 2.9%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (4,364 t) and the lowest 2019 (2,367 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 29 in 2018 to 50 in 2024 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2024
Position 1,444 of 2,858 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 50th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.9; this vessel reported 8.0.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 333,720,755 tonne-miles over 8,895 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 39.2% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, so the series has gaps.
From 2019 to 2024, emissions rose 12.1% while distance sailed rose 15.7%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 3.1%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
