GOLDEN STAR against its type
Built in 2002, it is 10 years 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 127 bulk carriers here under the Barbados flag, 1.6% of the 8,138 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 95 other vessels here, 64 of them bulk carriers. Its MRV returns name it HALIT YILDIRIM for 2018–2023 and GOLDEN STAR for 2025. The reported port of registry changed: MAJURO (2018–2023), then BRIDGETOWN (2025).
Its 3,600 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 11% above the median of 3,239 t among the 3,731 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 249.0 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 260.7 kg. It logged 1,549 hours at sea against a median of 1,200 hours for its type that year. 0.0% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.7%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2025 (3,600 t) and the lowest 2019 (1,142 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 67 in 2018 to 79 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 4 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 4 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 2,565 of 3,241 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 79th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.6; this vessel reported 10.3.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 349,472,816 tonne-miles over 14,457 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 154.5% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, 2021, 2022, 2024, so the series has gaps.
From 2023 to 2025, emissions rose 52.4% while distance sailed rose 58.5%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 3.8%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
