MARIA FRANCISCA against its type
Built in 2004, it is 3 years older than the median general cargo ship on this register, which was built in 2007 (2,852 vessels with a known build year). At 23,132 gross tonnage it is larger than 87% of the other 2,665 general cargo ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 187 general cargo ships here under the Portugal flag, 6.1% of the 3,081 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 146 other vessels here, 12 of them general cargo ships. The reported port of registry changed: St. Johns (2018–2022), then Riga (2023), then Portugal (2024–2025).
Its 12,065 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 4.3 times 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 283.0 kg CO₂, 2.3 times the type median of 122.2 kg. It logged 3,656 hours at sea against a median of 3,044 hours for its type that year. 4.2% 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 2020 (15,509 t) and the lowest 2018 (3,463 t). Of the 3 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 1 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2024
Position 56 of 155 qualifying other ship typess by EEOI, at the 36th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 38.0; this vessel reported 29.1.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 337,870,313 tonne-miles over 33,480 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 248.4% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 22.8% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 3.5%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
