FRIEDRICH against its type
Built in 2012, it is 5 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 6,190 gross tonnage it is smaller than 52% of the other 2,665 general cargo ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 381 general cargo ships here under the Antigua and Barbuda flag, 12.4% of the 3,081 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 127 other vessels here, 52 of them general cargo ships. Its MRV returns name it VECTIS FALCON for 2018–2020 and FRIEDRICH for 2023–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Madeira (2018–2020), then St. John´s (2023–2025).
Its 2,301 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 18% 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 125.3 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 122.2 kg. It logged 1,827 hours at sea against a median of 3,044 hours for its type that year. 5.7% 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 2019 (4,811 t) and the lowest 2020 (1,995 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 96 in 2023 to 78 in 2024 (lower is more efficient). Of the 7 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 7 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2024
Position 251 of 321 qualifying general cargo ships by EEOI, at the 78th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 23.6; this vessel reported 35.6.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 114,555,025 tonne-miles over 36,345 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 19.3% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2021, 2022, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 43.6% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 11.6%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
