TRUE BROTHER against its type
Built in 2001, it is 11 years older than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 19,712 gross tonnage it is smaller than 92% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 127 bulk carriers here under the Barbados flag, 1.6% of the 8,138 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 109 other vessels here, 72 of them bulk carriers. The returns for 2019–2025 all give Bridgetown as port of registry.
Its 1,710 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 47% below the median of 3,239 t among the 3,731 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 203.3 kg CO₂, 22% below the type median of 260.7 kg. It logged 740 hours at sea against a median of 1,200 hours for its type that year. 4.1% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.7%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (6,888 t) and the lowest 2024 (630 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 82 in 2019 to 77 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 2 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 1 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 2,509 of 3,241 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 77th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.6; this vessel reported 10.1.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 170,177,114 tonne-miles over 8,412 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 75.2% lower than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2021, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 171.3% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 28.1%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
