OCEAN KNIGHT 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 32,929 gross tonnage it is smaller than 61% 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 65 other vessels here, 44 of them bulk carriers. The returns for 2021–2024 all give Monrovia as port of registry.
Its 5,486 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 1.6 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 294.1 kg CO₂, 11% above the type median of 264.0 kg. It logged 1,667 hours at sea against a median of 1,238 hours for its type that year. 0.0% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 2.9%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2022 (6,353 t) and the lowest 2023 (4,963 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 80 in 2021 to 54 in 2023 (lower is more efficient). Of the 2 sister ships listed below with a 2024 return, 0 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2023
Position 1,750 of 3,262 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 54th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 8.0; this vessel reported 8.3.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 600,877,724 tonne-miles over 16,511 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 8.0% higher than in 2021, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2023 to 2024, emissions rose 10.5% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 2.1%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
