TRUE LOVE against its type
Built in 2015, it is 3 years newer than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). It is one of 1,603 bulk carriers here under the Marshall Islands flag, 19.7% of the 8,138 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 114 other vessels here, 111 of them bulk carriers. Its MRV returns name it TRUE LOVE for 2018–2022 and UBC HOUSTON for 2023–2025. The reported port of registry changed: MAJURO (2018–2022), then Limassol (2023–2024), then Majuro (2025).
Its 1,979 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 39% 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 219.9 kg CO₂, 16% below the type median of 260.7 kg. It logged 800 hours at sea against a median of 1,200 hours for its type that year. 7.7% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.7%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2023 (5,454 t) and the lowest 2021 (1,897 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 53 in 2018 to 62 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 5 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 2,016 of 3,241 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 62nd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.6; this vessel reported 8.5.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 233,869,976 tonne-miles over 8,999 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 56.2% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 0.1% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 4.7%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
