POUNDA 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 91,373 gross tonnage it is larger than 90% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 479 bulk carriers here under the Malta flag, 5.9% of the 8,138 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 194 other vessels here, 124 of them bulk carriers. The reported port of registry changed: Valletta (2019), then Monrovia (2022–2023), then Valleta (2025).

Its 9,604 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 3.0 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 510.7 kg CO₂, 2.0 times the type median of 260.7 kg. It logged 1,793 hours at sea against a median of 1,200 hours for its type that year. 2.1% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.7%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2025 (9,604 t) and the lowest 2023 (3,533 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 7 in 2019 to 5 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2025 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 156 of 3,241 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 5th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.6; this vessel reported 3.9.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 2,468,889,460 tonne-miles over 18,806 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 3.2% higher than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, 2021, 2024, so the series has gaps.

From 2023 to 2025, emissions rose 171.8% while distance sailed rose 178.9%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 2.5%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
