ORSOLA BOTTIGLIERI against its type
Built in 2011, it is 1 year older than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 91,373 gross tonnage it is larger than 90% 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 194 other vessels here, 124 of them bulk carriers. Its MRV returns name it ORSOLA BOTTIGLIERI for 2021 and RIO DULCE for 2022–2024.
Its 15,811 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 4.7 times the median of 3,377 t among the 3,676 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 544.3 kg CO₂, 2.1 times the type median of 264.0 kg. It logged 3,090 hours at sea against a median of 1,238 hours for its type that year. 0.0% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 2.9%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2024 (15,811 t) and the lowest 2021 (3,537 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 8 in 2021 to 4 in 2022 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2024 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2022
Position 133 of 3,692 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 4th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 8.4; this vessel reported 3.8.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 1,123,533,854 tonne-miles over 8,082 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 347.0% higher than in 2021, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2023, so the series has gaps.
From 2022 to 2024, emissions rose 266.5% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 2.0%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
