IONIAN SPIRIT against its type
Built in 2016, it is 4 years newer than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 24,872 gross tonnage it is smaller than 76% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 1,603 bulk carriers here under the Marshall Islands flag, 19.7% of the 8,138 on the register. Its MRV returns name it VENTURE SOUL for 2022 and IONIAN SPIRIT for 2023–2024. The returns for 2022–2024 all give Majuro as port of registry.
Its 2,397 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 29% below the median of 3,377 t among the 3,676 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 215.7 kg CO₂, 18% below the type median of 264.0 kg. It logged 1,019 hours at sea against a median of 1,238 hours for its type that year. 7.9% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 2.9%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2023 (3,659 t) and the lowest 2024 (2,397 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 51 in 2022 to 58 in 2024 (lower is more efficient). Of the 4 comparable vessels listed below with a 2024 return, 0 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2024
Position 1,663 of 2,858 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 58th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.9; this vessel reported 8.5.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 281,292,254 tonne-miles over 11,111 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 28.2% lower than in 2022, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2023 to 2024, emissions fell 34.5% while distance sailed fell 26.5%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 10.9%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
