BBC BELEM against its type

Built in 2012, it is 5 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 6,310 gross tonnage it is smaller 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. The returns for 2018–2025 all give St. Johns as port of registry.

Its 5,236 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 1.9 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 152.1 kg CO₂, 24% above the type median of 122.2 kg. It logged 3,839 hours at sea against a median of 3,044 hours for its type that year. 6.0% 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 (6,873 t) and the lowest 2022 (4,613 t). Of the 7 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 6 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 11.6% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 16.7% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 9.2%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
