SWEET LADY III against its type
Built in 2006, it is 6 years older than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 30,822 gross tonnage it is smaller than 70% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 479 bulk carriers here under the Malta flag, 5.9% of the 8,138 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 31 other vessels here, 24 of them bulk carriers. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Valletta as port of registry.
Its 3,476 t of CO₂ for 2024 is close to the median of 3,377 t among the 3,676 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 266.5 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 264.0 kg. It logged 1,154 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 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2022 (6,113 t) and the lowest 2020 (1,426 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 79 in 2018 to 81 in 2024 (lower is more efficient).
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 2,322 of 2,858 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 81st percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.9; this vessel reported 11.2.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 309,531,612 tonne-miles over 13,043 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 2.2% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2021, so the series has gaps.
From 2023 to 2024, emissions fell 8.2% while distance sailed rose 2.2%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 10.2%.That points mainly to how efficiently it sailed, rather than the other.
