ESL AMERICA against its type
Built in 2006, it is 1 year older than the median general cargo ship on this register, which was built in 2007 (2,852 vessels with a known build year). At 12,936 gross tonnage it is larger than 70% of the other 2,665 general cargo ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 128 general cargo ships here under the Cyprus flag, 4.2% of the 3,081 on the register. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Limassol as port of registry.
Its 7,528 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 2.7 times 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 211.1 kg CO₂, 1.7 times the type median of 122.2 kg. It logged 2,912 hours at sea against a median of 3,044 hours for its type that year. 3.6% 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 2020 (10,686 t) and the lowest 2023 (6,521 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 44 in 2018 to 92 in 2019 (lower is more efficient). Of the 4 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2019
Position 349 of 381 qualifying general cargo ships by EEOI, at the 92nd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 28.8; this vessel reported 83.9.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 119,658,644 tonne-miles over 34,906 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 18.4% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 17.4% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 8.7%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
