KAREWOOD BRAVE against its type

Built in 2006, it is 1 year older than the median general cargo ship on this register, which was built in 2007 (2,852 vessels with a known build year). At 5,197 gross tonnage it is smaller than 60% of the other 2,665 general cargo ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 146 general cargo ships here under the Bahamas flag, 4.7% of the 3,081 on the register. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Nassau as port of registry.

Its 2,380 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 16% below 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 87.9 kg CO₂, 28% below the type median of 122.2 kg. It logged 3,540 hours at sea against a median of 3,044 hours for its type that year. 4.8% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for general cargo ships was 4.3%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2024 (2,954 t) and the lowest 2019 (652 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 58 in 2018 to 17 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 6 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 1 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 82 of 479 qualifying general cargo ships by EEOI, at the 17th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 29.4; this vessel reported 19.2.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 124,158,581 tonne-miles over 27,084 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 9.5% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 19.4% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 14.8%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
