ELENA TOPIC against its type
Built in 1999, it is 13 years older than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 26,216 gross tonnage it is smaller than 74% 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 360 other vessels here, 303 of them bulk carriers. Its MRV returns name it ELENA TOPIC for 2018–2019 and VIVA TRINITY for 2023.
Its 3,540 t of CO₂ for 2023 is close to the median of 3,386 t among the 3,573 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 320.8 kg CO₂, 18% above the type median of 272.6 kg. It logged 1,057 hours at sea against a median of 1,186 hours for its type that year. 11.3% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 4.3%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (4,101 t) and the lowest 2018 (2,675 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 46 in 2018 to 82 in 2023 (lower is more efficient). Of the 3 sister ships listed below with a 2023 return, 3 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2023
Position 2,666 of 3,262 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 82nd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 8.0; this vessel reported 11.6.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 304,119,416 tonne-miles over 11,035 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 32.3% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, 2021, 2022, so the series has gaps.
From 2019 to 2023, emissions fell 13.7% while distance sailed fell 27.1%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 18.5%.
