NORD VIRGO against its type
Built in 2014, it is 2 years newer than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 43,291 gross tonnage it is larger than 72% 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 121 other vessels here, 78 of them bulk carriers. Its MRV returns name it NORD VIRGO for 2018–2023 and SEA DAWN for 2024–2025. The reported port of registry changed: PANAMA (2018–2023), then Majuro (2024–2025).
Its 6,186 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 1.9 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 286.9 kg CO₂, 10% above the type median of 260.7 kg. It logged 2,109 hours at sea against a median of 1,200 hours for its type that year. 5.1% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.7%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2023 (11,339 t) and the lowest 2018 (3,840 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 20 in 2018 to 65 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 4 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 3 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 2,104 of 3,241 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 65th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.6; this vessel reported 8.7.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 713,495,963 tonne-miles over 21,560 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 61.1% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, 2021, 2022, so the series has gaps.
From 2023 to 2025, emissions fell 45.4% while distance sailed fell 46.2%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 1.5%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
