NORD LION against its type

Built in 2014, it is 7 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 13,110 gross tonnage it is larger than 70% of the other 2,665 general cargo ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 310 general cargo ships here under the Panama flag, 10.1% of the 3,081 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 14 other vessels here, 10 of them general cargo ships. Its MRV returns name it THORCO LEGACY for 2018–2023 and NORD LION for 2025. The returns for 2018–2025 all give PANAMA as port of registry.

Its 2,110 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 25% below 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 150.5 kg CO₂, 23% above the type median of 122.2 kg. It logged 1,273 hours at sea against a median of 3,044 hours for its type that year. 4.6% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for general cargo ships was 4.3%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2020 (3,055 t) and the lowest 2022 (1,271 t). Of the 3 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 28.0% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, 2021, 2024, so the series has gaps.

From 2023 to 2025, emissions rose 4.0% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 37.5%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
