LIBRA against its type
Built in 2010, it is 2 years older than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 33,042 gross tonnage it is smaller than 58% 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 95 other vessels here, 41 of them bulk carriers. Its MRV returns name it UNIVERSAL BREMEN for 2021 and LIBRA for 2024. The returns for 2021–2024 all give Majuro as port of registry.
Its 1,344 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 60% 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 264.2 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 264.0 kg. It logged 445 hours at sea against a median of 1,238 hours for its type that year. 3.0% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 2.9%. Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 54 in 2021 to 74 in 2024 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2024
Position 2,117 of 2,858 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 74th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.9; this vessel reported 10.1.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 132,834,980 tonne-miles over 5,088 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 61.0% lower than in 2021, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2022, 2023, so the series has gaps.
From 2021 to 2024, emissions fell 61.0% while distance sailed fell 58.9%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 5.2%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
