ABDULLAH M: CO₂ emissions 2019–2025

ABDULLAH M against its type

Built in 2004, it is 3 years older than the median general cargo ship on this register, which was built in 2007 (2,852 vessels with a known build year). At 20,211 gross tonnage it is larger than 79% of the other 2,665 general cargo ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 146 general cargo ships here under the Bahamas flag, 4.7% of the 3,081 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 96 other vessels here, 38 of them general cargo ships. Its MRV returns name it AFRICAN IBIS for 2019–2020 and ABDULLAH M for 2024–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Nassau (2019–2020), then Besseterre (2024–2025).

Its 1,444 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 49% below 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 241.1 kg CO₂, 2.0 times the type median of 122.2 kg. It logged 1,264 hours at sea against a median of 3,044 hours for its type that year. 5.8% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for general cargo ships was 4.3%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2020 (3,388 t) and the lowest 2025 (1,444 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 3 in 2019 to 2 in 2020 (lower is more efficient). Of the 2 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2020

Position 6 of 270 qualifying general cargo ships by EEOI, at the 2nd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 23.3; this vessel reported 8.2.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 415,758,282 tonne-miles over 16,912 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 56.8% lower than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2021, 2022, 2023, so the series has gaps.

From 2020 to 2025, emissions fell 57.4% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 20.3%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
