BBC SONG against its type
Built in 2017, it is 10 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 11,619 gross tonnage it is larger than 67% of the other 2,665 general cargo ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 187 general cargo ships here under the Portugal flag, 6.1% of the 3,081 on the register. Its MRV returns name it INDUSTRIAL SONG for 2018, BBC SONG for 2020–2023 and INDUSTRIAL SONG for 2024–2025. The reported port of registry changed: FUNCHAL, MADEIRA (2018–2022), then Madeira (2023–2025).
Its 8,641 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 3.1 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 169.2 kg CO₂, 38% above the type median of 122.2 kg. It logged 3,851 hours at sea against a median of 3,044 hours for its type that year. 5.8% 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 2024 (9,683 t) and the lowest 2022 (3,595 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 72 in 2018 to 74 in 2024 (lower is more efficient). Of the 8 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 6 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2024
Position 238 of 321 qualifying general cargo ships by EEOI, at the 74th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 23.6; this vessel reported 32.7.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 295,838,680 tonne-miles over 55,648 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 136.4% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 10.8% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 2.8%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
