GOLDEN ARSENAL against its type
Built in 2011, it is 1 year older than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). It is one of 13 bulk carriers here under the Saint Vincent and the Grenadines flag, 0.2% of the 8,138 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 80 other vessels here, 51 of them bulk carriers. Its MRV returns name it STARGATE for 2019 and GOLDEN ARSENAL for 2020–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Monrovia (2019), then KINGSTOWN (2020–2025).
Its 1,263 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 61% 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 188.7 kg CO₂, 28% below the type median of 260.7 kg. It logged 612 hours at sea against a median of 1,200 hours for its type that year. 9.1% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.7%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (8,024 t) and the lowest 2020 (743 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 89 in 2019 to 92 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 5 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 1 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 2,966 of 3,241 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 92nd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.6; this vessel reported 13.4.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 94,498,878 tonne-miles over 6,696 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 84.3% lower than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2021, 2022, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 61.2% while distance sailed fell 56.4%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 11.0%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
