GW ALPHA against its type
Built in 2015, it is 3 years newer than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 34,778 gross tonnage it is smaller than 51% 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. The same builder is recorded for 136 other vessels here, 89 of them bulk carriers. Its MRV returns name it NORD BERING for 2019–2024 and GW ALPHA for 2025. The returns for 2019–2025 all give Panama as port of registry.
Its 2,975 t of CO₂ for 2025 is close to the median of 3,239 t among the 3,731 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 247.4 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 260.7 kg. It logged 1,129 hours at sea against a median of 1,200 hours for its type that year. 6.3% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.7%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (6,170 t) and the lowest 2024 (394 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 25 in 2019 to 33 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 3 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 1,080 of 3,241 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 33rd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.6; this vessel reported 6.5.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 459,783,617 tonne-miles over 12,025 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 51.8% lower than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2023, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 654.9% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 2.5%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
