TRUST STAR: CO₂ emissions 2018–2025

TRUST STAR against its type

Built in 2012, it is the same age as the median bulk carrier on this register (build year 2012, 6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 21,699 gross tonnage it is smaller than 87% 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 95 other vessels here, 64 of them bulk carriers. The reported port of registry changed: Panama (2018–2021), then Valletta (2025).

Its 2,122 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 34% 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 226.3 kg CO₂, 13% below the type median of 260.7 kg. It logged 824 hours at sea against a median of 1,200 hours for its type that year. 7.5% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.7%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (6,525 t) and the lowest 2018 (1,508 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 61 in 2018 to 68 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 4 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 3 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 2,222 of 3,241 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 68th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.6; this vessel reported 9.0.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 236,319,599 tonne-miles over 9,377 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 40.8% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, 2022, 2023, 2024, so the series has gaps.

From 2021 to 2025, emissions fell 45.0% while distance sailed fell 36.9%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 12.7%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
