EPIC TRADER against its type
Built in 2012, it is the same age as the median bulk carrier on this register (build year 2012, 6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 32,987 gross tonnage it is smaller than 59% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 1,589 bulk carriers here under the Liberia flag, 19.5% of the 8,138 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 118 other vessels here, 105 of them bulk carriers. Its MRV returns name it EPIC TRADER for 2018–2024 and XIN HAI TONG 65 for 2025. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Monrovia as port of registry.
Its 2,652 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 18% 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 298.2 kg CO₂, 14% above the type median of 260.7 kg. It logged 855 hours at sea against a median of 1,200 hours for its type that year. 1.7% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.7%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2022 (3,668 t) and the lowest 2024 (1,453 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 79 in 2018 to 53 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 4 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 0 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 1,715 of 3,241 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 53rd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.6; this vessel reported 7.8.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 339,997,436 tonne-miles over 8,893 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 38.0% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, 2020, 2021, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 82.5% while distance sailed rose 59.9%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 14.2%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
