IVS KINGBIRD against its type
Built in 2007, it is 5 years older than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 19,885 gross tonnage it is smaller than 91% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 7 bulk carriers here under the Tuvalu flag, 0.1% of the 8,138 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 96 other vessels here, 50 of them bulk carriers. Its MRV returns name it IVS KINGBIRD for 2023 and MAVI VATAN for 2024–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Singapore (2023), then Istanbul (2024), then Funafuti (2025).
Its 2,962 t of CO₂ for 2025 is close to the median of 3,239 t among the 3,731 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 158.2 kg CO₂, 39% below the type median of 260.7 kg. It logged 3,180 hours at sea against a median of 1,200 hours for its type that year. 3.1% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.7%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2023 (6,427 t) and the lowest 2024 (2,159 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 62 in 2023 to 79 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 3 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 2,558 of 3,241 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 79th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.6; this vessel reported 10.2.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 288,970,732 tonne-miles over 18,729 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 53.9% lower than in 2023, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 37.2% while distance sailed rose 44.0%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 4.8%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
