FLYING DUCHESS against its type
Built in 2010, it is 3 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 19,812 gross tonnage it is larger than 77% of the other 2,665 general cargo ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 181 general cargo ships here under the Marshall Islands flag, 5.9% of the 3,081 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 109 other vessels here, 35 of them general cargo ships. Its MRV returns name it LOUISE BULKER for 2018, FLYING DUCHESS for 2019–2021 and REGAL RACHEL for 2022–2024. The reported port of registry changed: COPENHAGEN (2018), then Majuro (2019–2024).
Its 3,425 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 15% below 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 177.1 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 187.0 kg. It logged 1,794 hours at sea against a median of 2,074 hours for its type that year. 3.8% 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 2018 (7,608 t) and the lowest 2019 (74 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 99 in 2018 to 17 in 2022 (lower is more efficient). Of the 2 sister ships listed below with a 2024 return, 1 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2022
Position 69 of 406 qualifying general cargo ships by EEOI, at the 17th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 23.3; this vessel reported 13.3.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 128,255,639 tonne-miles over 7,350 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 55.0% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2023 to 2024, emissions rose 55.8% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 26.1%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
