POLA PACIFIC against its type
It is one of 637 bulk carriers here under the Hong Kong flag, 7.8% of the 8,138 on the register. Its MRV returns name it POLA PACIFIC for 2018–2019 and WL PACIFIC for 2020–2025. The reported port of registry changed: VALLETTA (2018–2023), then Hong Kong, China (2024–2025).
Its 5,687 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 1.8 times the median of 3,238 t among the 3,732 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 252.6 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 260.7 kg. It logged 1,979 hours at sea against a median of 1,199 hours for its type that year. 4.7% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.7%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2025 (5,687 t) and the lowest 2022 (341 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type was 90 in both 2018 and 2025. Of the 6 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 4 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 2,932 of 3,241 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 90th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.6; this vessel reported 13.0.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 438,441,789 tonne-miles over 22,512 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 187.6% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 30.2% while distance sailed rose 95.5%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 33.4%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
