CORAL OPAL 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 41,963 gross tonnage it is larger than 67% 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 102 other vessels here, 45 of them bulk carriers. Its MRV returns name it CORAL OPAL for 2018–2021 and LEADER for 2024–2025. The reported port of registry changed: PANAMA (2018–2021), then MAJURO (2024–2025).
Its 12,340 t of CO₂ for 2021 is 3.1 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 294.8 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 291.9 kg. It logged 3,993 hours at sea against a median of 1,190 hours for its type that year. 2.9% of its 2021 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.8%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2021 (12,340 t) and the lowest 2018 (7,342 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 29 in 2018 to 68 in 2021 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2021 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.
No EU/EEA voyages were reported for 2024, 2025: zero CO₂ and zero time at sea, left out of the trend and of any ranking.

Efficiency against its own type2021
Position 2,245 of 3,276 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 68th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 8.4; this vessel reported 10.0.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 1,236,456,914 tonne-miles over 41,865 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2021 was 68.1% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2022, 2023, so the series has gaps.
From 2020 to 2021, emissions rose 37.6% while distance sailed rose 30.5%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 5.4%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
