ERKUL S against its type
Built in 1999, it is 8 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 7,918 gross tonnage it is larger than 59% 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. The same builder is recorded for 14 other vessels here, 10 of them general cargo ships. The reported port of registry changed: PORT VILA (2020–2021), then Panama (2022–2025).
Its 1,158 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 59% 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 114.1 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 122.2 kg. It logged 1,988 hours at sea against a median of 3,044 hours for its type that year. 2.3% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for general cargo ships was 4.3%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2020 (2,739 t) and the lowest 2023 (902 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 91 in 2020 to 20 in 2021 (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 type2021
Position 66 of 326 qualifying general cargo ships by EEOI, at the 20th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 22.6; this vessel reported 14.6.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 163,395,206 tonne-miles over 17,532 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 57.7% lower than in 2020, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 27.8% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 18.5%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
