MEGHNA CROWN against its type
Built in 2019, it is 7 years newer than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). It is one of 26 bulk carriers here under the Bangladesh flag, 0.3% of the 8,138 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 468 other vessels here, 362 of them bulk carriers. Its MRV returns name it ULTRA INITIATOR for 2019–2021 and MEGHNA CROWN for 2024–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Manila (2019–2021), then Chattogram (2024–2025).
Its 4,281 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 32% 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 255.1 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 260.7 kg. It logged 1,480 hours at sea against a median of 1,200 hours for its type that year. 3.2% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.7%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2020 (5,214 t) and the lowest 2024 (1,571 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 14 in 2019 to 15 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 4 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 4 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 495 of 3,241 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 15th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.6; this vessel reported 5.2.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 824,940,270 tonne-miles over 16,781 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 147.2% higher than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2022, 2023, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 172.5% while distance sailed rose 134.2%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 16.4%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
