ARA HAMBURG against its type
Built in 2009, it is 2 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 6,351 gross tonnage it is larger than 50% of the other 2,665 general cargo ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 381 general cargo ships here under the Antigua and Barbuda flag, 12.4% of the 3,081 on the register. Its MRV returns name it BBC NEW YORK for 2018, ARA HAMBURG for 2019–2021 and UNISUN for 2022–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Madeira (2019–2021), then Saint John's (2022), then St. John's (2024–2025).
Its 3,542 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 26% 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 136.0 kg CO₂, 11% above the type median of 122.2 kg. It logged 2,335 hours at sea against a median of 3,044 hours for its type that year. 1.7% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for general cargo ships was 4.3%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2021 (8,604 t) and the lowest 2024 (3,458 t). Of the 7 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 3 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2024
Position 24 of 155 qualifying other ship typess by EEOI, at the 15th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 38.0; this vessel reported 21.9.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 157,749,088 tonne-miles over 27,734 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 30.1% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2023, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 2.4% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 9.1%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
