AFRICAN BULKER against its type

Built in 2015, it is 3 years newer than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). 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 95 other vessels here, 64 of them bulk carriers. Its MRV returns name it AFRICAN BULKER for 2019–2022 and KS CAMELLIA for 2025. The reported port of registry changed: PANAMA (2019–2020), then HELLERUP (2022), then PANAMA (2025).

Its 2,738 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 15% below the median of 3,239 t among the 3,731 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 213.9 kg CO₂, 18% below the type median of 260.7 kg. It logged 1,353 hours at sea against a median of 1,200 hours for its type that year. 1.1% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.7%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (5,767 t) and the lowest 2022 (2,106 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 48 in 2019 to 78 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 4 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 4 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 2,542 of 3,241 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 78th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.6; this vessel reported 10.2.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 268,729,146 tonne-miles over 12,799 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 52.5% lower than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2021, 2023, 2024, so the series has gaps.

From 2022 to 2025, emissions rose 30.0% while distance sailed rose 24.5%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 4.4%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
