ERMIS against its type
Built in 2016, it is 4 years newer than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 44,069 gross tonnage it is larger than 76% 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 204 other vessels here, 70 of them bulk carriers. Its MRV returns name it SBI SOUSTA for 2019 and ERMIS for 2020–2024. The reported port of registry changed: Majuro (2019), then PANAMA (2020), then Valletta (2024).
Its 4,884 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 45% above the median of 3,377 t among the 3,676 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 263.7 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 264.0 kg. It logged 1,757 hours at sea against a median of 1,238 hours for its type that year. 2.3% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 2.9%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (9,057 t) and the lowest 2020 (4,464 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 41 in 2019 to 25 in 2024 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2024
Position 714 of 2,858 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 25th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.9; this vessel reported 6.1.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 803,222,040 tonne-miles over 18,518 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 46.1% lower than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2021, 2022, 2023, so the series has gaps.
From 2020 to 2024, emissions rose 9.4% while distance sailed rose 16.5%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 6.1%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
