MERITIUS against its type

Built in 2009, it is 3 years 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 1,603 bulk carriers here under the Marshall Islands flag, 19.7% of the 8,138 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 80 other vessels here, 51 of them bulk carriers. The returns for 2021–2025 all give Majuro as port of registry.

Its 4,901 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 1.5 times the median of 3,239 t among the 3,731 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 178.7 kg CO₂, 31% below the type median of 260.7 kg. It logged 2,359 hours at sea against a median of 1,200 hours for its type that year. 4.9% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.7%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2020 (8,860 t) and the lowest 2018 (1,461 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 81 in 2018 to 61 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 4 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 0 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 1,979 of 3,241 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 61st percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.6; this vessel reported 8.4.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 584,137,068 tonne-miles over 27,430 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 235.5% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 29.0% while distance sailed fell 23.0%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 7.8%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
