MEL GRACE against its type

Built in 2011, it is 1 year older 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 1,589 bulk carriers here under the Liberia flag, 19.5% of the 8,138 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 323 other vessels here, 238 of them bulk carriers. Its MRV returns name it PACIFIC JOURNEY for 2019 and MEL GRACE for 2020–2025. The reported port of registry changed: PANAMA (2019), then Monrovia (2020–2025).

Its 3,534 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 252.5 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 260.7 kg. It logged 1,168 hours at sea against a median of 1,200 hours for its type that year. 6.4% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.7%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2020 (6,474 t) and the lowest 2024 (768 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 34 in 2019 to 72 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 2,347 of 3,241 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 72nd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.6; this vessel reported 9.4.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 376,808,102 tonne-miles over 14,000 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 26.7% lower than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 360.2% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 14.6%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
