DSM FERRO against its type
Built in 2001, it is 11 years older than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 27,989 gross tonnage it is smaller than 73% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 127 bulk carriers here under the Barbados flag, 1.6% of the 8,138 on the register. Its MRV returns name it KARTERIA for 2018–2024 and DSM FERRO for 2025. The reported port of registry changed: Valletta (2018–2024), then Bridgetown (2025).
Its 2,492 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 23% 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 272.2 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 260.7 kg. It logged 1,110 hours at sea against a median of 1,200 hours for its type that year. 7.8% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.7%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2024 (6,688 t) and the lowest 2022 (1,677 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 54 in 2018 to 58 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 1,888 of 3,241 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 58th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.6; this vessel reported 8.2.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 303,572,473 tonne-miles over 9,158 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 50.9% 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 fell 62.7% while distance sailed fell 67.0%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 13.0%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
