VITUS BERING against its type

Built in 2019, it is 7 years newer than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 68,000 gross tonnage it is larger than 87% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 127 bulk carriers here under the Barbados flag, 1.6% of the 8,138 on the register. The reported port of registry changed: Nassau (2019–2022), then Bridgetown (2025).

Its 2,519 t of CO₂ for 2022 is 36% below the median of 3,908 t among the 3,902 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2022. Per nautical mile it emitted 332.2 kg CO₂, 15% above the type median of 288.1 kg. It logged 698 hours at sea against a median of 1,254 hours for its type that year. 3.2% of its 2022 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 4.2%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2021 (14,001 t) and the lowest 2022 (2,519 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 20 in 2019 to 54 in 2022 (lower is more efficient).

No EU/EEA voyages were reported for 2025: zero CO₂ and zero time at sea, left out of the trend and of any ranking.

Efficiency against its own type2022

Position 2,015 of 3,692 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 54th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 8.4; this vessel reported 8.8.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 286,252,273 tonne-miles over 7,583 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2022 was 20.4% lower than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2023, 2024, so the series has gaps.

From 2021 to 2022, emissions fell 82.0% while distance sailed fell 78.2%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 17.4%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
