IKAN KERAPU against its type
Built in 2015, it is 3 years newer than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 41,753 gross tonnage it is larger than 66% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 1,589 bulk carriers here under the Liberia flag, 19.5% of the 8,138 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 103 other vessels here, 69 of them bulk carriers. Its MRV returns name it IKAN KERAPU for 2018–2022 and SYNTHESEA for 2025. The reported port of registry changed: PANAMA (2018–2022), then MONROVIA (2025).
Its 3,948 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 22% above the median of 3,239 t among the 3,731 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 256.1 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 260.7 kg. It logged 1,261 hours at sea against a median of 1,200 hours for its type that year. 1.4% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.7%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (14,533 t) and the lowest 2019 (3,806 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 26 in 2018 to 19 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 5 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 3 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 615 of 3,241 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 19th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.6; this vessel reported 5.5.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 719,038,251 tonne-miles over 15,412 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 72.8% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, 2021, 2023, 2024, so the series has gaps.
From 2022 to 2025, emissions fell 21.8% while distance sailed fell 18.8%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 3.7%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
