VEGA: CO₂ emissions 2018–2025

VEGA against its type

Built in 2011, it is 1 year older than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 31,540 gross tonnage it is smaller than 67% 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 87 other vessels here, 60 of them bulk carriers. Its MRV returns name it VINCENT GENESIS for 2018–2019 and VEGA for 2021–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Majuro (2018–2019), then MONROVIA (2021–2025).

Its 2,489 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 23% below the median of 3,238 t among the 3,732 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 266.2 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 260.7 kg. It logged 916 hours at sea against a median of 1,199 hours for its type that year. 1.1% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.7%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2024 (4,373 t) and the lowest 2022 (1,747 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 24 in 2018 to 98 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 3,169 of 3,241 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 98th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.6; this vessel reported 19.1.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 130,380,304 tonne-miles over 9,349 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 34.7% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, 2023, so the series has gaps.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 43.1% while distance sailed fell 41.0%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 3.5%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
