AMBER CONFIDENCE against its type
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 HB GOLDEN EAGLE for 2022–2023 and AMBER CONFIDENCE for 2024–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Majuro (2022–2023), then MADEIRA (2024–2025).
Its 3,859 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 37% above 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 185.3 kg CO₂, 1.5 times the type median of 122.2 kg. It logged 1,844 hours at sea against a median of 3,044 hours for its type that year. 2.9% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for general cargo ships was 4.3%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2022 (6,877 t) and the lowest 2024 (1,829 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 2 in 2022 to 29 in 2024 (lower is more efficient). Of the 6 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 94 of 321 qualifying general cargo ships by EEOI, at the 29th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 23.6; this vessel reported 16.9.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 108,235,503 tonne-miles over 9,052 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 43.9% lower than in 2022, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 111.0% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 8.3%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
