MERIDIAAN against its type
Built in 2010, it is 3 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 5,887 gross tonnage it is smaller than 54% of the other 2,665 general cargo ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 306 general cargo ships here under the Netherlands flag, 9.9% of the 3,081 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 21 other vessels here, all of them general cargo ships. Its MRV returns name it MERIDIAAN for 2018–2021 and VERTOM MERIDIAAN for 2022–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Terneuzen (2018–2021), then Rotterdam (2022–2025).
Its 4,063 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 44% 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 124.4 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 122.2 kg. It logged 3,302 hours at sea against a median of 3,044 hours for its type that year. 4.1% 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 (7,151 t) and the lowest 2025 (4,063 t). Of the 4 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 1 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 43.2% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 19.5% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 8.5%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
