MONTSERRAT against its type
Built in 2000, it is 7 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 6,130 gross tonnage it is smaller than 52% of the other 2,665 general cargo ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 381 general cargo ships here under the Antigua and Barbuda flag, 12.4% of the 3,081 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 52 other vessels here, 36 of them general cargo ships. Its MRV returns name it VARNEBANK for 2018–2023 and MONTSERRAT for 2024–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Delfzijl (2018–2023), then St. John's (2024–2025).
Its 4,178 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 48% 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 125.7 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 122.2 kg. It logged 2,952 hours at sea against a median of 3,044 hours for its type that year. 6.6% 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 2022 (6,987 t) and the lowest 2019 (3,865 t). Of the 8 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 1 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2023
Position 152 of 331 qualifying general cargo ships by EEOI, at the 46th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 21.1; this vessel reported 20.3.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 311,263,028 tonne-miles over 49,531 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 27.2% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 30.1% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 4.6%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
