ICARIAN SPIRE against its type
Built in 2015, it is 8 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 22,385 gross tonnage it is larger than 85% of the other 2,665 general cargo ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 146 general cargo ships here under the Bahamas flag, 4.7% of the 3,081 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 468 other vessels here, 92 of them general cargo ships. Its MRV returns name it YUNA ORCHID for 2019, UNITY NORTH for 2021–2024 and ICARIAN SPIRE for 2025. The reported port of registry changed: PANAMA (2019), then Nassau (2021–2025).
Its 3,001 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 18% below the median of 3,650 t among the 1,342 general cargo ships on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 184.1 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 193.7 kg. It logged 1,545 hours at sea against a median of 1,942 hours for its type that year. 1.6% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for general cargo ships was 4.5%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (3,797 t) and the lowest 2022 (821 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 57 in 2019 to 26 in 2023 (lower is more efficient).
No EU/EEA voyages were reported for 2024, 2025: zero CO₂ and zero time at sea, left out of the trend and of any ranking.

Efficiency against its own type2023
Position 857 of 3,262 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 26th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 8.0; this vessel reported 6.2.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 480,104,000 tonne-miles over 16,304 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 21.0% lower than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, so the series has gaps.
From 2022 to 2023, emissions rose 265.7% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 15.8%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
