ML SWALLOW against its type
Built in 2015, it is 3 years newer than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 36,449 gross tonnage it is larger than 58% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. 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 114 other vessels here, 111 of them bulk carriers. Its MRV returns name it SBI COUGAR for 2018 and ML SWALLOW for 2022–2023. The reported port of registry changed: Majuro (2018), then Monrovia (2022–2023).
Its 2,610 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 23% below the median of 3,386 t among the 3,573 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 309.7 kg CO₂, 14% above the type median of 272.6 kg. It logged 697 hours at sea against a median of 1,186 hours for its type that year. 13.8% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 4.3%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (6,156 t) and the lowest 2023 (2,610 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 29 in 2018 to 61 in 2023 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2023
Position 1,987 of 3,262 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 61st percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 8.0; this vessel reported 8.8.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 295,909,297 tonne-miles over 8,428 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 57.6% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, 2020, 2021, so the series has gaps.
From 2022 to 2023, emissions fell 38.5% while distance sailed fell 38.2%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 0.5%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
