PURE MERCY against its type
Built in 2005, it is 7 years older than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 19,885 gross tonnage it is smaller than 91% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 1,601 bulk carriers here under the Panama flag, 19.7% of the 8,138 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 96 other vessels here, 50 of them bulk carriers. Its MRV returns name it SASSY SOFIA for 2018–2023 and PURE MERCY for 2024–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Majuro (2021–2023), then Panama (2024–2025).
Its 851 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 74% below the median of 3,238 t among the 3,732 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 267.2 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 260.7 kg. It logged 304 hours at sea against a median of 1,199 hours for its type that year. 6.0% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.7%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2022 (6,166 t) and the lowest 2025 (851 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 58 in 2019 to 78 in 2024 (lower is more efficient). Of the 4 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 3 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2024
Position 2,223 of 2,858 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 78th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.9; this vessel reported 10.7.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 402,009,372 tonne-miles over 19,713 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 69.3% lower than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 80.2% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 22.8%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
