CAPE BYRON 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 23,494 gross tonnage it is smaller than 80% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 479 bulk carriers here under the Malta flag, 5.9% of the 8,138 on the register. Its MRV returns name it DL LILAC for 2019 and CAPE BYRON for 2025. The reported port of registry changed: Panama (2019), then Valletta (2025).
Its 2,793 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 14% 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 232.0 kg CO₂, 11% below the type median of 260.7 kg. It logged 1,107 hours at sea against a median of 1,200 hours for its type that year. 4.2% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.7%. Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 96 in 2019 to 84 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 4 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 2,728 of 3,241 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 84th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.6; this vessel reported 11.2.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 249,843,470 tonne-miles over 12,039 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 1.5% lower than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, so the series has gaps.
From 2019 to 2025, emissions fell 1.5% while distance sailed fell 1.5%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell <0.1%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
