AFRICAN WIND 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 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. The returns for 2019–2025 all give Madeira as port of registry.
Its 8,053 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 2.9 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 229.9 kg CO₂, 1.9 times the type median of 122.2 kg. It logged 2,934 hours at sea against a median of 3,044 hours for its type that year. 4.0% 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 2020 (11,695 t) and the lowest 2025 (8,053 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 17 in 2019 to 21 in 2022 (lower is more efficient). Of the 3 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 0 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2022
Position 86 of 406 qualifying general cargo ships by EEOI, at the 21st percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 23.3; this vessel reported 15.0.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 561,567,134 tonne-miles over 34,513 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 26.7% lower than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2023, 2024, so the series has gaps.
From 2022 to 2025, emissions fell 4.2% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 5.6%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
