BC VANESSA against its type

Built in 2010, it is 3 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 19,805 gross tonnage it is larger than 77% of the other 2,665 general cargo ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 160 general cargo ships here under the Barbados flag, 5.2% of the 3,081 on the register. The returns for 2020–2025 all give Bridgetown as port of registry.

Its 1,927 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 32% below 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 210.0 kg CO₂, 1.7 times the type median of 122.2 kg. It logged 798 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 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2021 (5,667 t) and the lowest 2024 (1,805 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 84 in 2021 to 3 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 4 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 1 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 66.0% lower than in 2021, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 6.8% while distance sailed rose 15.3%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 7.4%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
