VELSHEDA 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 43,022 gross tonnage it is larger than 69% 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 360 other vessels here, 303 of them bulk carriers. The reported port of registry changed: Douglas (2019–2020), then Monrovia (2021–2025).
Its 3,293 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 310.6 kg CO₂, 19% above the type median of 260.7 kg. It logged 936 hours at sea against a median of 1,200 hours for its type that year. 2.0% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.7%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2021 (11,660 t) and the lowest 2022 (1,035 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 23 in 2019 to 70 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). 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 2,262 of 3,241 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 70th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.6; this vessel reported 9.1.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 361,088,816 tonne-miles over 10,603 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 51.6% lower than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2023, 2024, so the series has gaps.
From 2022 to 2025, emissions rose 218.3% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 16.2%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
