UNION GROOVE 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 23,783 gross tonnage it is smaller than 80% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 1,589 bulk carriers here under the Liberia flag, 19.5% of the 8,138 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 180 other vessels here, 74 of them bulk carriers. Its MRV returns name it UNION GROOVE for 2018–2024 and LM DEMETER for 2025. The reported port of registry changed: Majuro (2018–2024), then Monrovia (2025).
Its 3,335 t of CO₂ for 2025 is close to the median of 3,239 t among the 3,731 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 221.9 kg CO₂, 15% below the type median of 260.7 kg. It logged 1,399 hours at sea against a median of 1,200 hours for its type that year. 4.5% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.7%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (4,022 t) and the lowest 2019 (2,779 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 50 in 2018 to 70 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 5 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 0 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 2,278 of 3,241 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 70th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.6; this vessel reported 9.2.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 364,520,219 tonne-miles over 15,032 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 17.1% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 12.8% while distance sailed rose 31.3%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 14.1%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
