AL KARAMA against its type
Built in 2019, it is 7 years newer than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 35,606 gross tonnage it is larger than 51% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 1,589 bulk carriers here under the Liberia flag, 19.5% of the 8,138 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 360 other vessels here, 303 of them bulk carriers. The returns for 2022–2024 all give Monrovia as port of registry.
Its 1,890 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 44% below the median of 3,377 t among the 3,676 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 217.5 kg CO₂, 18% below the type median of 264.0 kg. It logged 753 hours at sea against a median of 1,238 hours for its type that year. 5.6% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 2.9%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2022 (4,757 t) and the lowest 2023 (1,417 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 9 in 2022 to 27 in 2024 (lower is more efficient). Of the 2 sister ships listed below with a 2024 return, 0 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2024
Position 766 of 2,858 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 27th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.9; this vessel reported 6.2.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 303,335,474 tonne-miles over 8,689 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 60.3% lower than in 2022, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2023 to 2024, emissions rose 33.4% while distance sailed rose 52.0%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 12.2%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
