KSL SAKURA against its type
Built in 2015, it is 3 years newer than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). At 94,528 gross tonnage it is larger than 96% of the other 6,571 bulk carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 637 bulk carriers here under the Hong Kong flag, 7.8% of the 8,138 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 194 other vessels here, 124 of them bulk carriers. The returns for 2018–2024 all give Hong Kong as port of registry.
Its 8,395 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 2.5 times the median of 3,377 t among the 3,676 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 475.9 kg CO₂, 1.8 times the type median of 264.0 kg. It logged 1,851 hours at sea against a median of 1,238 hours for its type that year. 2.9% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 2.9%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2023 (12,419 t) and the lowest 2021 (3,738 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 16 in 2018 to 2 in 2024 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2024 return reported a higher or equal CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2024
Position 65 of 2,858 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 2nd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.9; this vessel reported 3.5.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 2,412,290,230 tonne-miles over 17,640 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 59.1% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, so the series has gaps.
From 2023 to 2024, emissions fell 32.4% while distance sailed fell 40.1%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 12.8%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
