GOLDEN GRAINS against its type
Built in 2018, it is 6 years newer than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 23,651 gross tonnage it is smaller than 80% 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. Its MRV returns name it GOLDEN GRAINS for 2018–2021, MV GOLDEN GRAINS for 2022 and GOLDEN GRAINS for 2023–2025. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Monrovia as port of registry.
Its 5,288 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 1.6 times the median of 3,239 t among the 3,731 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 197.4 kg CO₂, 24% below the type median of 260.7 kg. It logged 2,413 hours at sea against a median of 1,200 hours for its type that year. 6.6% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.7%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2021 (8,056 t) and the lowest 2023 (2,178 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 46 in 2018 to 67 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 8 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 1 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 2,183 of 3,241 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 67th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.6; this vessel reported 8.9.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 596,151,071 tonne-miles over 26,786 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 80.8% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, 2020, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 57.5% while distance sailed rose 70.3%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 7.5%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
