IVS KESTREL against its type
Built in 2014, it is 7 years newer than the median general cargo ship on this register, which was built in 2007 (2,852 vessels with a known build year). At 20,981 gross tonnage it is larger than 81% of the other 2,665 general cargo ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 181 general cargo ships here under the Marshall Islands flag, 5.9% of the 3,081 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 96 other vessels here, 38 of them general cargo ships. The reported port of registry changed: Singapore (2019–2023), then Majuro (2025).
Its 4,599 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 1.6 times 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 189.4 kg CO₂, 1.5 times the type median of 122.2 kg. It logged 2,135 hours at sea against a median of 3,044 hours for its type that year. 2.8% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for general cargo ships was 4.3%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2023 (5,421 t) and the lowest 2022 (2,733 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 45 in 2019 to 25 in 2022 (lower is more efficient). Of the 3 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 1 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2022
Position 104 of 406 qualifying general cargo ships by EEOI, at the 25th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 23.3; this vessel reported 16.0.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 170,485,964 tonne-miles over 9,065 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 21.0% higher than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, 2024, so the series has gaps.
From 2023 to 2025, emissions fell 15.2% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 5.2%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
