AFRICAN VENTURE 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 1,603 bulk carriers here under the Marshall Islands flag, 19.7% 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 AFRICAN VENTURE for 2019–2022 and SIGMA VENTURE for 2023. The reported port of registry changed: Hong Kong (2019–2022), then MAJURO (2023).
Its 1,209 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 64% below the median of 3,386 t among the 3,573 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 296.3 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 272.6 kg. It logged 371 hours at sea against a median of 1,186 hours for its type that year. 14.1% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 4.3%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2021 (4,934 t) and the lowest 2022 (1,162 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 68 in 2020 to 69 in 2023 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2023
Position 2,247 of 3,262 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 69th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 8.0; this vessel reported 9.7.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 124,365,226 tonne-miles over 4,079 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 7.5% lower than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2022 to 2023, emissions rose 4.0% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 7.9%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
