BOREAS 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 6,569 gross tonnage it is larger than 52% of the other 2,665 general cargo ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 310 general cargo ships here under the Panama flag, 10.1% of the 3,081 on the register. Its MRV returns name it BOREAS for 2018–2021 and PAN BOREAS for 2022–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Saint John's (2019), then St. Joahns (2020), then St. Johns (2021), then PANAMA (2022–2025).

Its 1,718 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 39% 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 100.9 kg CO₂, 17% below the type median of 122.2 kg. It logged 1,634 hours at sea against a median of 3,044 hours for its type that year. 5.4% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for general cargo ships was 4.3%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (5,450 t) and the lowest 2023 (1,192 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 53 in 2018 to 67 in 2024 (lower is more efficient). Of the 7 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 1 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2024

Position 216 of 321 qualifying general cargo ships by EEOI, at the 67th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 23.6; this vessel reported 30.4.

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 65.7% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 3.7% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 24.4%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.

Sources and how to read this

This page draws on 8 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.
