NORD MONTREAL against its type
Built in 2012, it is 5 years newer 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. The same builder is recorded for 103 other vessels here, 3 of them general cargo ships. Its MRV returns name it NORD MONTREAL for 2018–2021 and PRIME STAR for 2022–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Singapore (2018–2021), then Monrovia (2022–2025).
Its 3,086 t of CO₂ for 2025 is close to 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 248.8 kg CO₂, 2.0 times the type median of 122.2 kg. It logged 1,606 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 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2023 (5,311 t) and the lowest 2022 (2,020 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 65 in 2018 to 3 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 3 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 16 of 479 qualifying general cargo ships by EEOI, at the 3rd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 29.4; this vessel reported 9.6.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 322,801,255 tonne-miles over 12,404 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 25.2% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 36.9% while distance sailed fell 37.0%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 0.2%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
