CLIPPER BRILLIANCE against its type
Built in 2015, it is 8 years newer than the median general cargo ship on this register, which was built in 2007 (2,852 vessels with a known build year). At 23,281 gross tonnage it is larger than 89% of the other 2,665 general cargo ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 181 general cargo ships here under the Marshall Islands flag, 5.9% of the 3,081 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 323 other vessels here, 25 of them general cargo ships. Its MRV returns name it CLIPPER BRILLIANCE for 2018, TAIKOO BRILLIANCE for 2020 and DENIZ for 2025. The reported port of registry changed: PANAMA (2018–2020), then Majuro (2025).
Its 1,999 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 29% below the median of 2,820 t among the 2,469 general cargo ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 222.4 kg CO₂, 1.8 times the type median of 122.2 kg. It logged 880 hours at sea against a median of 3,044 hours for its type that year. 3.9% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for general cargo ships was 4.3%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2020 (2,323 t) and the lowest 2018 (1,274 t). Of the 4 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2020
Position 1,244 of 2,985 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 42nd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 8.1; this vessel reported 7.4.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 312,664,872 tonne-miles over 11,971 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 56.9% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, so the series has gaps.
From 2020 to 2025, emissions fell 14.0% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 14.6%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
