HIDALGA against its type
Built in 2009, it is 2 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 7,988 gross tonnage it is larger than 59% 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. Its MRV returns name it HIDALGA for 2018–2020 and SAADET for 2021–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Napoli (2018–2020), then Valetta (2021–2025).
Its 3,332 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 18% 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 124.6 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 122.2 kg. It logged 4,839 hours at sea against a median of 3,044 hours for its type that year. 4.7% 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 (5,117 t) and the lowest 2022 (1,566 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 62 in 2018 to 69 in 2021 (lower is more efficient). Of the 6 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 1 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2021
Position 224 of 326 qualifying general cargo ships by EEOI, at the 69th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 22.6; this vessel reported 27.0.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 137,223,499 tonne-miles over 25,698 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 34.9% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 20.6% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 7.1%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
