GRANDE AFRICA against its type
Built in 1998, it is 12 years older than the median container/ro-ro cargo ship on this register, which was built in 2010 (72 vessels with a known build year). At 56,642 gross tonnage it is larger than 70% of the other 71 container/ro-ro cargo ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 11 container/ro-ro cargo ships here under the Malta flag, 14.7% of the 75 on the register. The reported port of registry changed: Gibraltar (2018–2019), then Valletta (2020–2025).
Its 18,617 t of CO₂ for 2025 is close to the median of 18,174 t among the 60 container/ro-ro cargo ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 417.9 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 419.6 kg. It logged 3,449 hours at sea against a median of 3,323 hours for its type that year. 5.0% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container/ro-ro cargo ships was 4.5%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2025 (18,617 t) and the lowest 2020 (11,045 t). Of the 7 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 4 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 9.7% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 33.4% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 2.6%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
