KAITI HILL against its type
Built in 2004, it is 8 years older than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 18,020 gross tonnage it is smaller than 93% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 29 bulk carriers here under the Palau flag, 0.4% of the 8,138 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 95 other vessels here, 64 of them bulk carriers. Its MRV returns name it KAITI HILL for 2020–2022 and LONDON BAY for 2024–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Hong Kong, China (2020–2022), then Malakal Harbor (2024–2025).
Its 2,013 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 38% below the median of 3,239 t among the 3,731 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 196.7 kg CO₂, 25% below the type median of 260.7 kg. It logged 1,275 hours at sea against a median of 1,200 hours for its type that year. 4.5% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 3.7%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2020 (4,631 t) and the lowest 2025 (2,013 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 81 in 2020 to 39 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 1,256 of 3,241 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 39th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.6; this vessel reported 6.8.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 294,292,398 tonne-miles over 10,234 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 56.5% lower than in 2020, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2021, 2023, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 5.3% while distance sailed rose 5.6%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 10.3%.That points mainly to how efficiently it sailed, rather than the other.
