DESERT VIRTUE against its type
Built in 2020, it is 8 years newer than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 35,805 gross tonnage it is larger than 52% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 107 bulk carriers here under the Greece flag, 1.3% of the 8,138 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 59 other vessels here, 57 of them bulk carriers. The returns for 2020–2025 all give Piraeus as port of registry.
Its 4,826 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 49% above the median of 3,238 t among the 3,732 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 235.9 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 260.7 kg. It logged 1,922 hours at sea against a median of 1,199 hours for its type that year. 5.3% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.7%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2025 (4,826 t) and the lowest 2022 (1,517 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 35 in 2020 to 19 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 2 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 1 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 625 of 3,241 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 19th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.6; this vessel reported 5.5.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 875,885,662 tonne-miles over 20,455 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 45.3% higher than in 2020, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 65.7% while distance sailed rose 76.9%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 6.4%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
