DESERT RANGER against its type

Built in 2017, it is 5 years newer than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). It is one of 107 bulk carriers here under the Greece flag, 1.3% of the 8,138 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 77 other vessels here, 28 of them bulk carriers. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Piraeus as port of registry.

Its 5,910 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 1.8 times the median of 3,239 t among the 3,731 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 300.5 kg CO₂, 15% above the type median of 260.7 kg. It logged 2,065 hours at sea against a median of 1,200 hours for its type that year. 3.3% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.7%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2025 (5,910 t) and the lowest 2024 (2,827 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 53 in 2018 to 55 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 2 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 0 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 1,777 of 3,241 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 55th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.6; this vessel reported 7.9.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 744,270,781 tonne-miles over 19,667 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 51.5% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2022, so the series has gaps.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 109.0% while distance sailed rose 79.0%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 16.8%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
