LEMESSOS LION against its type
Built in 2012, it is the same age as the median bulk carrier on this register (build year 2012, 6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 40,354 gross tonnage it is larger than 63% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 212 bulk carriers here under the Cyprus flag, 2.6% of the 8,138 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 103 other vessels here, 69 of them bulk carriers. The returns for 2019–2025 all give Limassol as port of registry.
Its 6,436 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 1.9 times the median of 3,386 t among the 3,573 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 449.8 kg CO₂, 1.7 times the type median of 272.6 kg. It logged 2,257 hours at sea against a median of 1,186 hours for its type that year. 2.0% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 4.3%. Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 25 in 2019 to 62 in 2023 (lower is more efficient). Of the 2 sister ships listed below with a 2023 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.
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 type2023
Position 2,011 of 3,262 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 62nd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 8.0; this vessel reported 8.9.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 723,176,404 tonne-miles over 14,309 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 170.7% higher than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, 2021, 2022, so the series has gaps.
From 2019 to 2023, emissions rose 170.7% while distance sailed rose 120.6%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 22.7%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
