HAMBURG PEARL against its type
It is one of 479 bulk carriers here under the Malta flag, 5.9% of the 8,138 on the register. Its MRV returns name it HAMBURG PEARL for 2018–2024 and IONIAN BAY for 2025. The reported port of registry changed: Manila (2018–2024), then Valletta (2025).
Its 4,157 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 28% 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 244.2 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 260.7 kg. It logged 1,808 hours at sea against a median of 1,200 hours for its type that year. 6.1% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.7%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2024 (7,199 t) and the lowest 2019 (1,833 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 62 in 2018 to 73 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 5 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 2,367 of 3,241 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 73rd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.6; this vessel reported 9.5.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 439,456,660 tonne-miles over 17,021 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 24.4% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 42.3% while distance sailed fell 44.6%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 4.3%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
