UNITY SAKURA against its type
Built in 2016, it is 4 years newer than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 45,264 gross tonnage it is larger than 82% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 218 bulk carriers here under the Bahamas flag, 2.7% of the 8,138 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 136 other vessels here, 89 of them bulk carriers. The returns for 2021–2025 all give Nassau as port of registry.
Its 6,638 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 2.0 times the median of 3,239 t among the 3,731 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 270.9 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 260.7 kg. It logged 2,285 hours at sea against a median of 1,200 hours for its type that year. 1.8% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.7%. Its efficiency percentile within the type was 8 in both 2023 and 2025. Of the 3 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 277 of 3,241 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 8th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.6; this vessel reported 4.5.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 1,459,004,396 tonne-miles over 24,507 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 20.1% lower than in 2023, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2023 to 2025, emissions fell 20.1% while distance sailed fell 23.9%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 4.9%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
