KARAMEL against its type
Built in 2005, it is 7 years older than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 21,059 gross tonnage it is smaller than 88% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 127 bulk carriers here under the Barbados flag, 1.6% of the 8,138 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 95 other vessels here, 64 of them bulk carriers. The returns for 2023–2025 all give Bridgetown as port of registry.
Its 1,497 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 54% 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 218.7 kg CO₂, 16% below the type median of 260.7 kg. It logged 639 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 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2022 (4,908 t) and the lowest 2023 (291 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 86 in 2022 to 92 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 3 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 2,964 of 3,241 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 92nd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.6; this vessel reported 13.3.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 112,377,628 tonne-miles over 6,846 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 69.5% lower than in 2022, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 27.0% while distance sailed fell 33.7%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 10.1%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
