BALD EAGLE 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 20,236 gross tonnage it is larger than 79% of the other 2,665 general cargo ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 23 general cargo ships here under the San Marino flag, 0.7% of the 3,081 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 96 other vessels here, 38 of them general cargo ships. Its MRV returns name it BALD EAGLE for 2018–2023 and MOON GATE for 2024–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Majuro (2021–2023), then San Marino (2024–2025).
Its 2,509 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 11% 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 215.1 kg CO₂, 1.8 times the type median of 122.2 kg. It logged 1,123 hours at sea against a median of 3,044 hours for its type that year. 6.4% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for general cargo ships was 4.3%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2020 (7,187 t) and the lowest 2023 (1,643 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 4 in 2018 to 35 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 5 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 4 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 167 of 479 qualifying general cargo ships by EEOI, at the 35th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 29.4; this vessel reported 24.8.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 101,008,454 tonne-miles over 11,664 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 15.3% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, 2022, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 33.7% while distance sailed fell 31.0%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 3.9%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
