AQUIS PERLA: CO₂ emissions 2018–2025

AQUIS PERLA against its type

Built in 1997, it is 10 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 6,079 gross tonnage it is smaller than 53% of the other 2,665 general cargo ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 310 general cargo ships here under the Panama flag, 10.1% of the 3,081 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 307 other vessels here, 26 of them general cargo ships. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Panama as port of registry.

Its 1,152 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 59% 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 107.9 kg CO₂, 12% below the type median of 122.2 kg. It logged 1,145 hours at sea against a median of 3,044 hours for its type that year. 3.4% 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 2024 (2,922 t) and the lowest 2018 (228 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 49 in 2019 to 10 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 4 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 0 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 47 of 479 qualifying general cargo ships by EEOI, at the 10th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 29.4; this vessel reported 15.3.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 75,050,163 tonne-miles over 10,673 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 405.1% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 60.6% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 13.8%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
