MEDITERRANEAN SPIRIT against its type
Built in 2016, it is 4 years newer than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 24,991 gross tonnage it is smaller than 76% 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. Its MRV returns name it XING RU HAI for 2018, VENTURE PRIDE for 2021–2022 and MEDITERRANEAN SPIRIT for 2023–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Hong Kong (2018), then Majuro (2021–2025).
Its 3,612 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 12% above the median of 3,239 t among the 3,731 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 197.8 kg CO₂, 24% below the type median of 260.7 kg. It logged 1,613 hours at sea against a median of 1,200 hours for its type that year. 5.9% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.7%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2022 (6,954 t) and the lowest 2023 (2,636 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 71 in 2018 to 95 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 3 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 1 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 3,083 of 3,241 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 95th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.6; this vessel reported 15.5.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 232,722,294 tonne-miles over 18,260 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 7.9% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, 2020, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 28.2% while distance sailed rose 33.7%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 4.1%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
