AFRICAN RIVER against its type
Built in 2011, it is 4 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 20,973 gross tonnage it is larger than 81% of the other 2,665 general cargo ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 187 general cargo ships here under the Portugal flag, 6.1% of the 3,081 on the register. Its MRV returns name it AFRICAN RIVER for 2019–2021 and PACIFIC HERO for 2022–2023. The returns for 2019–2023 all give Madeira as port of registry.
Its 1,273 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 65% below the median of 3,650 t among the 1,342 general cargo ships on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 241.1 kg CO₂, 24% above the type median of 193.7 kg. It logged 464 hours at sea against a median of 1,942 hours for its type that year. 0.0% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for general cargo ships was 4.5%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (11,764 t) and the lowest 2023 (1,273 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type was 24 in both 2019 and 2022. Of the 2 comparable vessels listed below with a 2023 return, 1 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2022
Position 99 of 406 qualifying general cargo ships by EEOI, at the 24th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 23.3; this vessel reported 15.7.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 559,189,688 tonne-miles over 34,025 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 89.2% lower than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2022 to 2023, emissions fell 85.5% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 6.6%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
