ARKLOW MUSE against its type
Built in 2013, it is 6 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 9,758 gross tonnage it is larger than 65% of the other 2,665 general cargo ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 16 general cargo ships here under the Ireland flag, 0.5% of the 3,081 on the register. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Arklow as port of registry.
Its 6,905 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 2.4 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 190.5 kg CO₂, 1.6 times the type median of 122.2 kg. It logged 3,563 hours at sea against a median of 3,044 hours for its type that year. 7.1% 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 2019 (8,443 t) and the lowest 2023 (5,644 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 45 in 2018 to 25 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 8 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 4 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 121 of 479 qualifying general cargo ships by EEOI, at the 25th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 29.4; this vessel reported 22.6.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 306,214,634 tonne-miles over 36,248 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 7.6% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 17.6% while distance sailed rose 19.5%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 1.6%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
