OBIRIX against its type

Built in 2008, it is 1 year newer than the median general cargo ship on this register, which was built in 2007 (2,852 vessels with a known build year). At 6,478 gross tonnage it is larger than 51% of the other 2,665 general cargo ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 160 general cargo ships here under the Barbados flag, 5.2% of the 3,081 on the register. Its MRV returns name it PEMBA for 2018–2020 and OBIRIX for 2021–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Saint John's (2018–2020), then Bridgetown (2021–2025).

Its 2,149 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 24% 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 94.6 kg CO₂, 23% below the type median of 122.2 kg. It logged 3,457 hours at sea against a median of 3,044 hours for its type that year. 6.4% 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 2020 (5,861 t) and the lowest 2024 (1,134 t). Of the 4 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 0 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2021

Position 76 of 326 qualifying general cargo ships by EEOI, at the 23rd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 22.6; this vessel reported 15.6.

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 53.0% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 89.5% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 9.6%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
