KEN ORCHID against its type
Built in 2011, it is 1 year older than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 17,019 gross tonnage it is smaller than 95% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 1,589 bulk carriers here under the Liberia flag, 19.5% of the 8,138 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 59 other vessels here, 57 of them bulk carriers. The returns for 2022–2023 all give Monrovia as port of registry.
Its 3,818 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 13% above the median of 3,386 t among the 3,573 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 202.2 kg CO₂, 26% below the type median of 272.6 kg. It logged 1,697 hours at sea against a median of 1,186 hours for its type that year. 6.1% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 4.3%. Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 87 in 2022 to 78 in 2023 (lower is more efficient). Of the 2 sister ships listed below with a 2023 return, 0 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2023
Position 2,563 of 3,262 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 78th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 8.0; this vessel reported 11.1.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 344,556,859 tonne-miles over 18,877 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 32.6% higher than in 2022, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, 2020, 2021, so the series has gaps.
From 2022 to 2023, emissions rose 32.6% while distance sailed rose 38.6%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 4.3%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
