CAPE ISTANBUL against its type
Built in 2011, it is 1 year older than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 91,642 gross tonnage it is larger than 91% 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 74 other vessels here, 9 of them bulk carriers. Its MRV returns name it CAPE ISTANBUL for 2018–2019 and CAPE SANDRA for 2022–2025. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Majuro as port of registry.
Its 9,318 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 2.8 times the median of 3,377 t among the 3,676 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 511.1 kg CO₂, 1.9 times the type median of 264.0 kg. It logged 1,688 hours at sea against a median of 1,238 hours for its type that year. 4.9% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 2.9%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2024 (9,318 t) and the lowest 2023 (3,777 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 14 in 2019 to 45 in 2024 (lower is more efficient).
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 type2024
Position 1,296 of 2,858 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 45th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.9; this vessel reported 7.6.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 1,227,682,477 tonne-miles over 18,233 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 107.2% higher than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, 2021, so the series has gaps.
From 2023 to 2024, emissions rose 146.7% while distance sailed rose 157.6%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 4.2%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
