BBC ONYX against its type

Built in 2011, it is 4 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 12,810 gross tonnage it is larger than 69% 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. Its MRV returns name it INDUSTRIAL FORCE for 2018 and BBC ONYX for 2019–2025. The returns for 2018–2025 all give SAINT-JOHN'S as port of registry.

Its 3,959 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 40% 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 228.5 kg CO₂, 1.9 times the type median of 122.2 kg. It logged 1,177 hours at sea against a median of 3,044 hours for its type that year. 2.9% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for general cargo ships was 4.3%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2022 (15,116 t) and the lowest 2025 (3,959 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 93 in 2018 to 94 in 2022 (lower is more efficient). Of the 7 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 4 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2022

Position 381 of 406 qualifying general cargo ships by EEOI, at the 94th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 23.3; this vessel reported 79.1.

0255075100more efficientless efficientThis vessel: 94th percentile, EEOI 79.1

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 191,171,367 tonne-miles over 57,143 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 7.9% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2024, so the series has gaps.

From 2023 to 2025, emissions fell 55.7% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 2.1%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.

Sources and how to read this

This page draws on 7 MRV reporting years, an efficiency ranking, 4 of 5 vessel particulars and a name history. Not found in the sources for this vessel: AIS movements in Norwegian waters, a licensed photograph, a sanctions listing and US port state inspections.

Empty means unreported, never zero. How EEOI, distance, percentiles and sister ships are handled is explained under reading a vessel page. Something wrong? See corrections.
