VELA against its type
Built in 2007, it is 5 years older than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 32,583 gross tonnage it is smaller than 63% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 75 bulk carriers here under the Norway flag, 0.9% of the 8,138 on the register. Fleet Management Limited is linked to 40 vessels on this register. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Bergen as port of registry.
Its 4,063 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 25% above the median of 3,239 t among the 3,731 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 324.3 kg CO₂, 24% above the type median of 260.7 kg. It logged 1,222 hours at sea against a median of 1,200 hours for its type that year. 5.9% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.7%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2022 (6,127 t) and the lowest 2023 (679 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 59 in 2018 to 65 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 3 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 2,120 of 3,241 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 65th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.6; this vessel reported 8.7.
Across the 24 ranked vessels operated by Fleet Management Limited, the median percentile is 38. This vessel is less efficient than its own fleet median.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 465,903,670 tonne-miles over 12,526 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 4.0% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, 2021, 2024, so the series has gaps.
From 2023 to 2025, emissions rose 498.8% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 6.4%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
