IONIC STORM against its type
Built in 2005, it is 7 years older than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 31,263 gross tonnage it is smaller than 68% 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. The same builder is recorded for 14 other vessels here, all of them bulk carriers. The returns for 2018–2023 all give MAJURO as port of registry.
Its 755 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 78% below the median of 3,386 t among the 3,573 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 516.8 kg CO₂, 1.9 times the type median of 272.6 kg. It logged 260 hours at sea against a median of 1,186 hours for its type that year. 7.1% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 4.3%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (5,645 t) and the lowest 2023 (755 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 41 in 2018 to 33 in 2022 (lower is more efficient). Of the 2 comparable vessels listed below with a 2023 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 86.6% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, so the series has gaps.
From 2022 to 2023, emissions fell 66.4% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 59.4%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
