CORKSCREW against its type
Built in 2010, it is 3 years newer than the median general cargo ship on this register, which was built in 2007 (2,852 vessels with a known build year). It is one of 310 general cargo ships here under the Panama flag, 10.1% of the 3,081 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 96 other vessels here, 38 of them general cargo ships. Its MRV returns name it CORKSCREW for 2018–2021 and V TAURUS for 2023–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Majuro (2021), then PANAMA (2023–2025).
Its 2,795 t of CO₂ for 2025 is close to 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 204.6 kg CO₂, 1.7 times the type median of 122.2 kg. It logged 1,321 hours at sea against a median of 3,044 hours for its type that year. 0.9% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for general cargo ships was 4.3%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2020 (7,736 t) and the lowest 2023 (230 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 88 in 2020 to 69 in 2021 (lower is more efficient). Of the 4 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 3 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2021
Position 2,252 of 3,276 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 69th 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 200,523,000 tonne-miles over 7,541 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 292.8% higher than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2022, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 175.0% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 1.2%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
