AAL GUNSAN against its type
Built in 2010, it is 3 years newer than the median general cargo ship on this register, which was built in 2007 (2,852 vessels with a known build year). At 19,128 gross tonnage it is larger than 76% of the other 2,665 general cargo ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 128 general cargo ships here under the Cyprus flag, 4.2% of the 3,081 on the register. Its MRV returns name it BBC AMERICA for 2020–2021 and AAL GUNSAN for 2022–2025. The returns for 2020–2025 all give Limassol as port of registry.
Its 10,989 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 3.9 times 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 232.0 kg CO₂, 1.9 times the type median of 122.2 kg. It logged 4,244 hours at sea against a median of 3,044 hours for its type that year. 2.6% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for general cargo ships was 4.3%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2025 (10,989 t) and the lowest 2021 (3,727 t). Of the 5 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 4 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2024
Position 253 of 321 qualifying general cargo ships by EEOI, at the 79th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 23.6; this vessel reported 35.8.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 238,464,785 tonne-miles over 37,742 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 149.9% higher than in 2020, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2023, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 28.8% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 2.6%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
