EMMA BULKER against its type
Built in 2010, it is 3 years newer than the median general cargo ship on this register, which was built in 2007 (2,852 vessels with a known build year). At 19,812 gross tonnage it is larger than 77% of the other 2,665 general cargo ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 181 general cargo ships here under the Marshall Islands flag, 5.9% of the 3,081 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 109 other vessels here, 35 of them general cargo ships. Its MRV returns name it EMMA BULKER for 2018, FLYING BUTTRESS for 2019 and NIMBLE NICKY for 2022–2024. The reported port of registry changed: COPENHAGEN (2018), then Majuro (2019–2024).
Its 1,336 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 67% below the median of 4,046 t among the 1,395 general cargo ships on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 174.9 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 187.0 kg. It logged 653 hours at sea against a median of 2,074 hours for its type that year. 0.0% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for general cargo ships was 3.9%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2023 (4,945 t) and the lowest 2022 (420 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 48 in 2019 to 10 in 2024 (lower is more efficient). Of the 2 sister ships listed below with a 2024 return, 0 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2024
Position 34 of 321 qualifying general cargo ships by EEOI, at the 10th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 23.6; this vessel reported 9.7.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 137,917,441 tonne-miles over 7,643 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 55.1% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, 2021, so the series has gaps.
From 2023 to 2024, emissions fell 73.0% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 36.5%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
