AFRICAN OXPECKER against its type
Built in 2014, it is 2 years newer than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 24,785 gross tonnage it is smaller than 76% 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. Its MRV returns name it ERISORT for 2018–2020 and AFRICAN OXPECKER for 2024–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Singapore (2018–2020), then Nassau (2024–2025).
Its 7,245 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 2.2 times the median of 3,239 t among the 3,731 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 198.1 kg CO₂, 24% below the type median of 260.7 kg. It logged 3,272 hours at sea against a median of 1,200 hours for its type that year. 3.7% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.7%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2025 (7,245 t) and the lowest 2024 (1,666 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 34 in 2020 to 59 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 3 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 0 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 1,909 of 3,241 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 59th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.6; this vessel reported 8.2.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 879,206,311 tonne-miles over 36,580 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 84.4% higher than in 2020, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, 2021, 2022, 2023, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 334.9% while distance sailed rose 463.0%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 22.8%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
