SIGMA PIONEER against its type

Built in 2011, it is 1 year older than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 20,924 gross tonnage it is smaller than 88% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 1,603 bulk carriers here under the Marshall Islands flag, 19.7% of the 8,138 on the register. The returns for 2024–2025 all give MAJURO as port of registry.

Its 3,150 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 273.7 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 260.7 kg. It logged 1,371 hours at sea against a median of 1,200 hours for its type that year. 16.7% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.7%. Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 62 in 2024 to 89 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 2 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 254,264,730 tonne-miles over 11,509 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

2024: 1,635 t20241,6352025: 3,150 t20253,150

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 92.7% higher than in 2024, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 92.7% while distance sailed rose 47.6%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 30.6%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
