At 38,382 gross tonnage it is larger than 59% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 1,601 bulk carriers here under the Panama flag, 19.7% of the 8,138 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 57 other vessels here, 7 of them bulk carriers.

Its 3,779 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 17% above the median of 3,238 t among the 3,732 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 335.9 kg CO₂, 29% above the type median of 260.7 kg. It logged 1,177 hours at sea against a median of 1,199 hours for its type that year. 3.9% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.7%. Of the 3 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 3 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.
