AQUAEXPLORER 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 92,884 gross tonnage it is larger than 93% 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 196 other vessels here, 94 of them bulk carriers. Its MRV returns name it AQUAEXPLORER for 2019–2021 and CAPE NV for 2025.
Its 6,630 t of CO₂ for 2021 is 1.7 times the median of 3,945 t among the 3,342 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2021. Per nautical mile it emitted 583.4 kg CO₂, 2.0 times the type median of 291.9 kg. It logged 1,286 hours at sea against a median of 1,190 hours for its type that year. 6.3% of its 2021 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.8%. Its efficiency percentile within the type was 6 in both 2019 and 2021.
No EU/EEA voyages were reported for 2025: zero CO₂ and zero time at sea, left out of the trend and of any ranking.

Efficiency against its own type2021
Position 213 of 3,276 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 6th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 8.4; this vessel reported 4.7.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 1,422,654,506 tonne-miles over 11,363 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2021 was 123.2% higher than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, 2022, 2023, 2024, so the series has gaps.
From 2019 to 2021, emissions rose 123.2% while distance sailed rose 64.8%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 35.5%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
