FIRST BROTHER against its type
Built in 2003, it is 4 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 20,212 gross tonnage it is larger than 79% 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. The same builder is recorded for 96 other vessels here, 38 of them general cargo ships. The returns for 2018–2025 all give VALLETTA as port of registry.
Its 3,665 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 30% above 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 212.1 kg CO₂, 1.7 times the type median of 122.2 kg. It logged 1,523 hours at sea against a median of 3,044 hours for its type that year. 3.5% 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 2018 (6,007 t) and the lowest 2024 (3,034 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 62 in 2018 to 66 in 2021 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2025 return reported a higher or equal CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2021
Position 2,169 of 3,276 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 66th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 8.4; this vessel reported 9.7.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 492,121,150 tonne-miles over 22,622 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 39.0% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 20.8% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 1.5%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
