NIKOLAOS A 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). At 32,287 gross tonnage it is smaller than 65% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. 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 360 other vessels here, 303 of them bulk carriers. The returns for 2018–2025 all give MAJURO as port of registry.
Its 2,098 t of CO₂ for 2021 is 47% below the median of 3,945 t among the 3,342 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2021. Per nautical mile it emitted 312.4 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 291.9 kg. It logged 592 hours at sea against a median of 1,190 hours for its type that year. 2.4% of its 2021 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.8%. Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 70 in 2018 to 81 in 2021 (lower is more efficient).
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 type2021
Position 2,666 of 3,276 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 81st percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 8.4; this vessel reported 11.6.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 180,404,127 tonne-miles over 6,716 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2021 was 29.4% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, 2020, 2022, 2023, so the series has gaps.
From 2018 to 2021, emissions fell 29.4% while distance sailed fell 26.3%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 4.3%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
