Its 1,048 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 63% 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 224.1 kg CO₂, 1.8 times the type median of 122.2 kg. It logged 450 hours at sea against a median of 3,044 hours for its type that year. 0.8% 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 2024 (6,343 t) and the lowest 2025 (1,048 t). Of the 4 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 0 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 5.8% lower than in 2020, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2021, 2022, so the series has gaps.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 83.5% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 3.5%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
