EKMEN STAR against its type
Built in 2001, it is 6 years older than the median general cargo ship on this register, which was built in 2007 (2,852 vessels with a known build year). At 5,381 gross tonnage it is smaller than 58% of the other 2,665 general cargo ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 160 general cargo ships here under the Barbados flag, 5.2% of the 3,081 on the register. Its MRV returns name it HC NATALIA for 2018–2019 and EKMEN STAR for 2020–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Saint John's (2019), then BRIDGETOWN (2020–2025).
Its 2,436 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 14% 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 94.4 kg CO₂, 23% below the type median of 122.2 kg. It logged 3,381 hours at sea against a median of 3,044 hours for its type that year. 2.2% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for general cargo ships was 4.3%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (6,272 t) and the lowest 2023 (1,580 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 99 in 2018 to 98 in 2019 (lower is more efficient). Of the 6 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 0 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2019
Position 3,104 of 3,161 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 98th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 8.1; this vessel reported 22.2.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 247,350,023 tonne-miles over 43,713 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 61.2% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 21.5% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 6.6%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
