DELPHINUS 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 24,210 gross tonnage it is larger than 91% of the other 2,665 general cargo ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 69 general cargo ships here under the Malta flag, 2.2% of the 3,081 on the register. Its MRV returns name it DRAGONERA for 2018–2023 and DELPHINUS for 2024. The returns for 2018–2023 all give Valletta as port of registry.
Its 3,700 t of CO₂ for 2024 is close to 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 265.4 kg CO₂, 42% above the type median of 187.0 kg. It logged 1,335 hours at sea against a median of 2,074 hours for its type that year. 1.6% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for general cargo ships was 3.9%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2023 (6,263 t) and the lowest 2020 (2,508 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 78 in 2018 to 17 in 2023 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2023
Position 56 of 331 qualifying general cargo ships by EEOI, at the 17th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 21.1; this vessel reported 11.1.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 563,257,194 tonne-miles over 22,135 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 40.2% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2023 to 2024, emissions fell 40.9% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 6.2%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
