BC ZOE against its type

Built in 2014, it is 7 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 21,168 gross tonnage it is larger than 82% of the other 2,665 general cargo ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 69 general cargo ships here under the Malta flag, 2.2% of the 3,081 on the register. Its MRV returns name it SHIKOKU ISLAND for 2018–2022 and BC ZOE for 2023–2025. The reported port of registry changed: PANAMA (2018–2023), then Valletta (2024–2025).

Its 1,379 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 51% 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 228.6 kg CO₂, 1.9 times the type median of 122.2 kg. It logged 516 hours at sea against a median of 3,044 hours for its type that year. 1.8% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for general cargo ships was 4.3%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2024 (5,611 t) and the lowest 2023 (576 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 56 in 2018 to 14 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 6 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 6 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 70 of 479 qualifying general cargo ships by EEOI, at the 14th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 29.4; this vessel reported 17.8.

0255075100more efficientless efficientThis vessel: 14th percentile, EEOI 17.8

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 77,392,256 tonne-miles over 6,032 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 51.9% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, 2020, so the series has gaps.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 75.4% while distance sailed fell 75.1%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 1.2%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.

Sources and how to read this

This page draws on 6 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.
