BOCS SPIRIT against its type
Built in 2008, it is 1 year newer than the median general cargo ship on this register, which was built in 2007 (2,852 vessels with a known build year). At 9,938 gross tonnage it is larger than 66% 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. The returns for 2019–2025 all give Madeira as port of registry.
Its 9,402 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 3.3 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 256.5 kg CO₂, 2.1 times the type median of 122.2 kg. It logged 2,991 hours at sea against a median of 3,044 hours for its type that year. 8.3% 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 (9,402 t) and the lowest 2019 (6,264 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 87 in 2019 to 75 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 7 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 7 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 358 of 479 qualifying general cargo ships by EEOI, at the 75th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 29.4; this vessel reported 37.7.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 249,194,805 tonne-miles over 36,658 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 50.1% higher than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 10.0% while distance sailed fell <0.1%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 10.0%.That points mainly to how efficiently it sailed, rather than the other.
