BBC NEWCASTLE 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 6,351 gross tonnage it is larger 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 same builder is recorded for 52 other vessels here, 36 of them general cargo ships. Its MRV returns name it BBC NEWCASTLE for 2019 and UNISOUL for 2022–2025. The returns for 2019–2025 all give Saint John's as port of registry.
Its 3,704 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 31% above 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 128.0 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 122.2 kg. It logged 4,547 hours at sea against a median of 3,044 hours for its type that year. 2.3% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for general cargo ships was 4.3%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2024 (6,613 t) and the lowest 2019 (1,358 t). Of the 6 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 3 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2024
Position 49 of 155 qualifying other ship typess by EEOI, at the 31st percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 38.0; this vessel reported 27.0.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 244,734,271 tonne-miles over 45,589 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 172.7% higher than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, 2021, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 44.0% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 11.7%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
