GOLDEN MALAK against its type
Built in 2010, it is 2 years older than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 18,873 gross tonnage it is smaller than 92% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 22 bulk carriers here under the Sierra Leone flag, 0.3% of the 8,138 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 114 other vessels here, 111 of them bulk carriers. Its MRV returns name it PERSENK for 2018–2023 and GOLDEN MALAK for 2024–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Valletta (2018–2023), then FREETOWN (2024–2025).
Its 2,312 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 29% 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 209.6 kg CO₂, 20% below the type median of 260.7 kg. It logged 1,146 hours at sea against a median of 1,200 hours for its type that year. 5.7% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.7%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2021 (8,655 t) and the lowest 2025 (2,312 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 0 in 2018 to 99 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 4 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 0 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 3,214 of 3,241 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 99th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.6; this vessel reported 23.9.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 96,717,573 tonne-miles over 11,026 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 42.7% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 44.7% while distance sailed fell 39.0%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 9.4%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
