AFRICAN OSPREY 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 24,212 gross tonnage it is smaller than 78% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 218 bulk carriers here under the Bahamas flag, 2.7% of the 8,138 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 114 other vessels here, 111 of them bulk carriers. The returns for 2019–2025 all give Nassau as port of registry.
Its 2,823 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 13% 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 220.5 kg CO₂, 15% below the type median of 260.7 kg. It logged 1,196 hours at sea against a median of 1,200 hours for its type that year. 0.5% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.7%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (4,349 t) and the lowest 2020 (1,762 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 41 in 2019 to 45 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 3 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 1,459 of 3,241 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 45th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.6; this vessel reported 7.2.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 390,402,490 tonne-miles over 12,803 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 35.1% lower than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, so the series has gaps.
From 2020 to 2025, emissions rose 60.2% while distance sailed rose 63.4%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 1.9%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
