CHIPOL BAOAN against its type
Built in 2009, it is 2 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 22,863 gross tonnage it is larger than 85% 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 CHIPOL BAOAN for 2020–2021 and THE WHALE ORCA for 2024–2025. The returns for 2020–2025 all give Monrovia as port of registry.
Its 5,286 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 31% above the median of 4,046 t among the 1,395 general cargo ships on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 270.7 kg CO₂, 45% above the type median of 187.0 kg. It logged 1,584 hours at sea against a median of 2,074 hours for its type that year. 2.1% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for general cargo ships was 3.9%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2021 (9,419 t) and the lowest 2024 (5,286 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 55 in 2020 to 31 in 2021 (lower is more efficient).
No EU/EEA voyages were reported for 2025: zero CO₂ and zero time at sea, left out of the trend and of any ranking.

Efficiency against its own type2021
Position 101 of 326 qualifying general cargo ships by EEOI, at the 31st percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 22.6; this vessel reported 17.7.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 531,241,399 tonne-miles over 36,744 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 32.7% lower than in 2020, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2022, 2023, so the series has gaps.
From 2021 to 2024, emissions fell 43.9% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 5.6%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
