AAL KOBE against its type
Built in 2012, it is 5 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 23,930 gross tonnage it is larger than 90% of the other 2,665 general cargo ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 216 general cargo ships here under the Liberia flag, 7.0% of the 3,081 on the register. Columbia Shipmanagement Ltd. is linked to 43 vessels on this register. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Monrovia as port of registry.
Its 5,825 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 2.1 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 273.6 kg CO₂, 2.2 times the type median of 122.2 kg. It logged 1,715 hours at sea against a median of 3,044 hours for its type that year. 3.1% 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 2021 (9,316 t) and the lowest 2018 (3,674 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 93 in 2019 to 54 in 2024 (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 type2024
Position 173 of 321 qualifying general cargo ships by EEOI, at the 54th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 23.6; this vessel reported 24.8.
Across the 36 ranked vessels operated by Columbia Shipmanagement Ltd., the median percentile is 66. This vessel is more efficient than its own fleet median.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 275,273,973 tonne-miles over 24,214 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 58.5% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 14.7% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 3.0%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
