SHOVELER 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 19,814 gross tonnage it is smaller than 92% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 212 bulk carriers here under the Cyprus flag, 2.6% of the 8,138 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 12 other vessels here, 3 of them bulk carriers. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Limassol as port of registry.

Its 3,471 t of CO₂ for 2025 is close to the median of 3,239 t among the 3,731 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 251.9 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 260.7 kg. It logged 1,224 hours at sea against a median of 1,200 hours for its type that year. 2.8% 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 (6,942 t) and the lowest 2022 (1,494 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 87 in 2018 to 74 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 2,409 of 3,241 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 74th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.6; this vessel reported 9.6.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 360,487,020 tonne-miles over 13,781 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 47.5% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 43.0% while distance sailed fell 34.7%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 12.7%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
