DS SOFIE BULKER against its type
Built in 2007, it is 5 years older than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 17,663 gross tonnage it is smaller than 94% 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 returns for 2018–2025 all give MAJURO as port of registry.
Its 5,145 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 1.6 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 181.0 kg CO₂, 31% below the type median of 260.7 kg. It logged 3,986 hours at sea against a median of 1,200 hours for its type that year. 4.0% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.7%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (6,969 t) and the lowest 2019 (2,436 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 100 in 2018 to 64 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 3 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 1 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 2,072 of 3,241 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 64th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.6; this vessel reported 8.6.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 598,248,837 tonne-miles over 28,419 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 26.2% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, 2021, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 59.2% while distance sailed rose 52.0%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 4.7%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
