EPSILON against its type
Built in 1996, it is 16 years older than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 20,837 gross tonnage it is smaller than 89% 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 98 other vessels here, 49 of them bulk carriers. The returns for 2018–2023 all give VALLETTA as port of registry.
Its 9,940 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 2.9 times the median of 3,386 t among the 3,573 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 254.9 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 272.6 kg. It logged 3,466 hours at sea against a median of 1,186 hours for its type that year. 5.5% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 4.3%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (10,875 t) and the lowest 2020 (8,699 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 96 in 2019 to 94 in 2023 (lower is more efficient). The one comparable vessel listed below with a 2023 return reported a higher or equal CO₂ per nautical mile.
