BBC HONGKONG against its type
Built in 2008, it is 1 year newer than the median general cargo ship on this register, which was built in 2007 (2,852 vessels with a known build year). At 8,472 gross tonnage it is larger than 60% of the other 2,665 general cargo ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 73 general cargo ships here under the Hong Kong flag, 2.4% of the 3,081 on the register. Its MRV returns name it BBC HONGKONG for 2022–2024 and XYG HONG KONG for 2025. The reported port of registry changed: St. John's (2022–2024), then Hong Kong (2025).
Its 7,253 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 2.6 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 174.6 kg CO₂, 43% above the type median of 122.2 kg. It logged 3,412 hours at sea against a median of 3,044 hours for its type that year. 2.5% 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 2025 (7,253 t) and the lowest 2023 (789 t). Of the 5 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 4 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2024
Position 63 of 155 qualifying other ship typess by EEOI, at the 40th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 38.0; this vessel reported 31.2.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 54,423,311 tonne-miles over 10,202 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 145.0% higher than in 2022, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 326.7% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 4.8%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
