GOLDEN BULL 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 41,586 gross tonnage it is larger than 66% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 127 bulk carriers here under the Barbados flag, 1.6% of the 8,138 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 4 other vessels here, all of them bulk carriers. Its MRV returns name it GOLDEN BULL for 2018–2023 and ICE BULL for 2025. The reported port of registry changed: Hong Kong (2018–2023), then Bridgetown (2025).
Its 10,909 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 3.2 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 361.9 kg CO₂, 33% above the type median of 272.6 kg. It logged 3,073 hours at sea against a median of 1,186 hours for its type that year. 1.1% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 4.3%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (13,054 t) and the lowest 2020 (5,243 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 63 in 2018 to 77 in 2023 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2023 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.
No EU/EEA voyages were reported for 2025: zero CO₂ and zero time at sea, left out of the trend and of any ranking.

Efficiency against its own type2023
Position 2,524 of 3,262 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 77th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 8.0; this vessel reported 10.8.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 1,006,344,096 tonne-miles over 30,147 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 16.4% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2024, so the series has gaps.
From 2022 to 2023, emissions rose 12.1% while distance sailed rose 10.8%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 1.2%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
