BILLESBORG 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 9,627 gross tonnage it is larger than 65% of the other 2,665 general cargo ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 216 general cargo ships here under the Liberia flag, 7.0% of the 3,081 on the register. Its MRV returns name it BILLESBORG for 2018–2021 and BILLIE for 2022–2025. The reported port of registry changed: PANAMA (2018–2019), then Monrovia (2020–2025).
Its 7,786 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 2.8 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 176.4 kg CO₂, 44% above the type median of 122.2 kg. It logged 3,727 hours at sea against a median of 3,044 hours for its type that year. 1.1% 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 2025 (7,786 t) and the lowest 2022 (943 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 28 in 2022 to 92 in 2024 (lower is more efficient). Of the 7 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 3 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2024
Position 295 of 321 qualifying general cargo ships by EEOI, at the 92nd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 23.6; this vessel reported 69.9.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 88,863,662 tonne-miles over 28,641 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 63.8% higher than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 25.3% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 18.7%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
