MELPOMENI against its type
It is one of 479 bulk carriers here under the Malta flag, 5.9% of the 8,138 on the register. Its MRV returns name it SEAPACE for 2018–2019 and MELPOMENI for 2022–2025. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Valletta as port of registry.
Its 3,972 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 17% above the median of 3,386 t among the 3,573 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 308.4 kg CO₂, 13% above the type median of 272.6 kg. It logged 1,154 hours at sea against a median of 1,186 hours for its type that year. 2.7% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 4.3%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2023 (3,972 t) and the lowest 2018 (801 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 33 in 2019 to 75 in 2023 (lower is more efficient). The one comparable vessel listed below with a 2023 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.
No EU/EEA voyages were reported for 2024, 2025: zero CO₂ and zero time at sea, left out of the trend and of any ranking.

Efficiency against its own type2023
Position 2,439 of 3,262 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 75th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 8.0; this vessel reported 10.4.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 380,472,222 tonne-miles over 12,878 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 396.1% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, 2021, so the series has gaps.
From 2022 to 2023, emissions rose 3.2% while distance sailed rose 19.2%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 13.5%.
