SOPHIA against its type
Built in 2007, it is 5 years older than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 47,100 gross tonnage it is larger than 83% 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 87 other vessels here, 60 of them bulk carriers. The returns for 2020–2025 all give Limassol as port of registry.
Its 5,368 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 1.6 times the median of 3,377 t among the 3,676 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 339.1 kg CO₂, 28% above the type median of 264.0 kg. It logged 1,570 hours at sea against a median of 1,238 hours for its type that year. 3.4% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 2.9%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2021 (10,659 t) and the lowest 2020 (2,062 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 7 in 2020 to 6 in 2024 (lower is more efficient). Of the 2 sister ships listed below with a 2024 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.
No EU/EEA voyages were reported for 2025: zero CO₂ and zero time at sea, left out of the trend and of any ranking.

Efficiency against its own type2024
Position 176 of 2,858 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 6th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.9; this vessel reported 4.2.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 1,266,049,528 tonne-miles over 15,829 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 160.3% higher than in 2020, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2023, so the series has gaps.
From 2022 to 2024, emissions fell 3.0% while distance sailed rose 5.8%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 8.3%.
