GOLDEN PIONEER: CO₂ emissions 2018–2025

GOLDEN PIONEER against its type

Built in 2001, it is 11 years older than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 40,570 gross tonnage it is larger than 64% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 1,601 bulk carriers here under the Panama flag, 19.7% of the 8,138 on the register. Its MRV returns name it OCEANIS for 2018–2020 and GOLDEN PIONEER for 2024–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Nassau (2018–2020), then Panama (2024–2025).

Its 553 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 83% below the median of 3,238 t among the 3,732 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 427.6 kg CO₂, 1.6 times the type median of 260.7 kg. It logged 122 hours at sea against a median of 1,199 hours for its type that year. 11.1% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.7%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2020 (8,015 t) and the lowest 2025 (553 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 19 in 2018 to 80 in 2020 (lower is more efficient). Of the 3 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 3 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 76.7% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, 2021, 2022, 2023, so the series has gaps.

From 2020 to 2025, emissions fell 93.1% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 24.2%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.

Sources and how to read this

• Emissions: EU MRV publication (THETIS-MRV), reporting years 2018–2025, published by the European Commission.
• Vessel particulars: Wikidata (CC0).

This page draws on 4 MRV reporting years, 4 of 5 vessel particulars and a name history. Not found in the sources for this vessel: an efficiency ranking, AIS movements in Norwegian waters, a licensed photograph, a sanctions listing and US port state inspections.

Empty means unreported, never zero. How EEOI, distance, percentiles and sister ships are handled is explained under reading a vessel page. Something wrong? See corrections.
