The returns for 2018–2025 all give St Johns as port of registry.
Its 2,859 t of CO₂ for 2025 is close to 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 126.7 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 122.2 kg. It logged 2,459 hours at sea against a median of 3,044 hours for its type that year. 4.7% 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 2020 (7,176 t) and the lowest 2025 (2,859 t). Of the 7 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 0 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2024
Position 32 of 155 qualifying other ship typess by EEOI, at the 20th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 38.0; this vessel reported 24.2.
Across the 5 ranked vessels operated by BBC Chartering, the median percentile is 27. This vessel is more efficient than its own fleet median.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 259,704,592 tonne-miles over 46,213 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 16.5% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 54.5% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 6.7%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
