ITALIAN BULKER against its type

Built in 2017, it is 5 years newer than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 35,834 gross tonnage it is larger than 53% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 218 bulk carriers here under the Bahamas flag, 2.7% of the 8,138 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 79 other vessels here, 77 of them bulk carriers. Its MRV returns name it ITALIAN BULKER for 2018–2019 and UNITY LIFE for 2024–2025. The reported port of registry changed: PANAMA (2018–2019), then Nassau (2024–2025).

Its 5,483 t of CO₂ for 2019 is 30% above the median of 4,211 t among the 3,264 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2019. Per nautical mile it emitted 248.6 kg CO₂, 14% below the type median of 290.4 kg. It logged 1,940 hours at sea against a median of 1,454 hours for its type that year. 2.8% of its 2019 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.9%. Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 12 in 2018 to 10 in 2019 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2019 return reported a higher or equal CO₂ per nautical mile.

No EU/EEA voyages were reported for 2024, 2025: zero CO₂ and zero time at sea, left out of the trend and of any ranking.

Efficiency against its own type2019

Position 335 of 3,161 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 10th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 8.1; this vessel reported 4.9.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 1,123,475,410 tonne-miles over 22,056 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2019 was 38.8% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, so the series has gaps.

From 2018 to 2019, emissions rose 38.8% while distance sailed rose 36.8%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 1.5%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
