ELPIDA 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 38,367 gross tonnage it is larger than 59% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 479 bulk carriers here under the Malta flag, 5.9% of the 8,138 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 57 other vessels here, 7 of them bulk carriers. The returns for 2018–2022 all give Valletta as port of registry.
Its 4,829 t of CO₂ for 2022 is 24% above the median of 3,908 t among the 3,902 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2022. Per nautical mile it emitted 316.3 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 288.1 kg. It logged 1,341 hours at sea against a median of 1,254 hours for its type that year. 1.5% of its 2022 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 4.2%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (5,906 t) and the lowest 2019 (326 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 98 in 2018 to 74 in 2022 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2022
Position 2,721 of 3,692 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 74th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 8.4; this vessel reported 10.9.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 444,271,389 tonne-miles over 15,267 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2022 was 18.2% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, 2021, so the series has gaps.
From 2019 to 2022, emissions rose 1,379.8% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 62.8%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
