MORNING 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). It is one of 216 general cargo ships here under the Liberia flag, 7.0% of the 3,081 on the register. Its MRV returns name it MORNINGSTAR for 2018–2020 and MORNING for 2023–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Hong Kong (2019–2020), then Monrovia (2023–2025).
Its 2,058 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 49% below the median of 4,046 t among the 1,395 general cargo ships on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 369.6 kg CO₂, 2.0 times the type median of 187.0 kg. It logged 506 hours at sea against a median of 2,074 hours for its type that year. 14.0% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for general cargo ships was 3.9%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2023 (6,042 t) and the lowest 2020 (1,928 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 45 in 2019 to 85 in 2020 (lower is more efficient).
No EU/EEA voyages were reported for 2025: zero CO₂ and zero time at sea, left out of the trend and of any ranking.

Efficiency against its own type2020
Position 2,537 of 2,985 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 85th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 8.1; this vessel reported 12.1.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 159,752,278 tonne-miles over 6,088 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 30.5% lower than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2021, 2022, so the series has gaps.
From 2023 to 2024, emissions fell 65.9% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 37.7%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
