BOLERO against its type
Built in 1997, it is 10 years older than the median general cargo ship on this register, which was built in 2007 (2,852 vessels with a known build year). At 15,660 gross tonnage it is larger than 73% of the other 2,665 general cargo ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 23 general cargo ships here under the San Marino flag, 0.7% of the 3,081 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 323 other vessels here, 25 of them general cargo ships. Its MRV returns name it BOLERO for 2019 and VAFAA M for 2022–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Monrovia (2019), then AVATIU (2022), then San Marino (2024–2025).
Its 2,834 t of CO₂ for 2025 is close to 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 210.6 kg CO₂, 1.7 times the type median of 122.2 kg. It logged 1,199 hours at sea against a median of 3,044 hours for its type that year. 8.5% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for general cargo ships was 4.3%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (9,856 t) and the lowest 2024 (297 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 10 in 2019 to 2 in 2024 (lower is more efficient). Of the 2 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 1 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2024
Position 4 of 155 qualifying other ship typess by EEOI, at the 2nd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 38.0; this vessel reported 12.4.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 23,919,355 tonne-miles over 1,294 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 71.2% lower than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, 2021, 2023, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 855.6% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 8.2%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
