SANDNES 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 17,357 gross tonnage it is smaller than 94% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 29 bulk carriers here under the Antigua and Barbuda flag, 0.4% of the 8,138 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 180 other vessels here, 4 of them bulk carriers. The reported port of registry changed: St. John´s (2018), then Saint John's (2019–2021), then St. John´s (2022–2025).
Its 13,875 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 4.3 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 242.4 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 260.7 kg. It logged 5,811 hours at sea against a median of 1,200 hours for its type that year. 7.5% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.7%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2020 (20,907 t) and the lowest 2024 (13,647 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type was 98 in both 2018 and 2025. Of the 2 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.
