GR ATHENS 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 20,969 gross tonnage it is smaller than 88% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 637 bulk carriers here under the Hong Kong flag, 7.8% of the 8,138 on the register. Its MRV returns name it YANGTZE CLASSIC for 2018–2020 and GR ATHENS for 2025. The returns for 2018–2025 all give HONG KONG as port of registry.
Its 1,345 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 58% 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 263.6 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 260.7 kg. It logged 471 hours at sea against a median of 1,200 hours for its type that year. 12.5% 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 (6,986 t) and the lowest 2025 (1,345 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 87 in 2018 to 70 in 2020 (lower is more efficient). Of the 2 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 1 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 46.3% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, so the series has gaps.
From 2020 to 2025, emissions fell 80.7% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 18.8%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
