POLA MUROM 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 24,199 gross tonnage it is smaller than 78% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 637 bulk carriers here under the Hong Kong flag, 7.8% of the 8,138 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 95 other vessels here, 41 of them bulk carriers. Its MRV returns name it POLA MUROM for 2018 and WL MUROM for 2019–2025. The reported port of registry changed: VALLETTA (2018–2021), then Hong Kong (2023), then Hong Kong, China (2024–2025).
Its 4,094 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 26% above the median of 3,239 t among the 3,731 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 226.2 kg CO₂, 13% below the type median of 260.7 kg. It logged 1,743 hours at sea against a median of 1,200 hours for its type that year. 4.4% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.7%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (6,126 t) and the lowest 2023 (3,053 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 84 in 2018 to 81 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 3 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 1 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 2,635 of 3,241 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 81st percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.6; this vessel reported 10.6.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 385,125,118 tonne-miles over 18,101 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 33.2% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2022, so the series has gaps.
From 2023 to 2025, emissions rose 34.1% while distance sailed rose 29.6%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 3.4%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
