PRINCESS SHAHD: CO₂ emissions 2018–2025

PRINCESS SHAHD 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 21,192 gross tonnage it is smaller than 88% 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. Its MRV returns name it WAAL CONFIDENCE for 2018–2021 and PRINCESS SHAHD for 2022–2025. The reported port of registry changed: MADEIRA (2018–2021), then BRIDGE TOWN (2022–2024), then Valetta (2025).

Its 1,861 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 43% below the median of 3,239 t among the 3,731 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 233.7 kg CO₂, 10% below the type median of 260.7 kg. It logged 736 hours at sea against a median of 1,200 hours for its type that year. 6.8% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.7%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2021 (6,599 t) and the lowest 2023 (1,578 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 65 in 2018 to 71 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 3 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 3 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 2,294 of 3,241 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 71st percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.6; this vessel reported 9.2.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 202,279,348 tonne-miles over 7,964 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 42.6% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 13.6% while distance sailed fell 25.3%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 15.6%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.

Sources and how to read this

• Emissions: EU MRV publication (THETIS-MRV), reporting years 2018–2025, published by the European Commission.
• Vessel particulars: Wikidata (CC0).

This page draws on 8 MRV reporting years, an efficiency ranking, 4 of 5 vessel particulars and a name history. Not found in the sources for this vessel: AIS movements in Norwegian waters, a licensed photograph, a sanctions listing and US port state inspections.

Empty means unreported, never zero. How EEOI, distance, percentiles and sister ships are handled is explained under reading a vessel page. Something wrong? See corrections.
