AFRICAN STORK 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). At 24,725 gross tonnage it is smaller than 77% 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. Its MRV returns name it LA SAUTERNAIS for 2019–2021 and AFRICAN STORK for 2024–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Valletta (2019–2021), then Nassau (2024–2025).
Its 1,569 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 52% 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 246.2 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 260.7 kg. It logged 674 hours at sea against a median of 1,200 hours for its type that year. 9.8% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.7%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2020 (7,933 t) and the lowest 2024 (1,231 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 89 in 2019 to 69 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 5 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 4 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 2,226 of 3,241 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 69th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.6; this vessel reported 9.0.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 174,545,050 tonne-miles over 6,374 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 63.0% lower than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2022, 2023, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 27.5% while distance sailed rose 33.5%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 4.5%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
