LIBRA-XS: CO₂ emissions 2019–2025

LIBRA-XS against its type

Built in 2003, it is 9 years older than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 30,058 gross tonnage it is smaller than 71% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 1,601 bulk carriers here under the Panama flag, 19.7% of the 8,138 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 360 other vessels here, 303 of them bulk carriers. Its MRV returns name it OKTEM AKSOY for 2019–2022 and LIBRA-XS for 2024–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Valletta (2019–2022), then PANAMA (2024–2025).

Its 3,045 t of CO₂ for 2025 is close to the median of 3,239 t among the 3,731 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 266.0 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 260.7 kg. It logged 1,055 hours at sea against a median of 1,200 hours for its type that year. 5.0% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.7%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2022 (7,113 t) and the lowest 2024 (2,167 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 73 in 2019 to 55 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2025 return reported a higher or equal CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 1,782 of 3,241 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 55th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.6; this vessel reported 8.0.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 382,520,100 tonne-miles over 11,446 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 22.8% lower than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, 2021, 2023, so the series has gaps.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 40.5% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 11.4%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
