OCEAN ARSENAL against its type
Built in 2013, it is 6 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 21,203 gross tonnage it is larger than 82% 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. The same builder is recorded for 307 other vessels here, 26 of them general cargo ships. Its MRV returns name it RIJN CONFIDENCE for 2018–2024 and OCEAN ARSENAL for 2025. The reported port of registry changed: MADEIRA (2018–2024), then Bridgetown (2025).
Its 3,493 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 24% 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 191.5 kg CO₂, 1.6 times the type median of 122.2 kg. It logged 1,592 hours at sea against a median of 3,044 hours for its type that year. 1.5% 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 2018 (4,546 t) and the lowest 2022 (361 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 62 in 2018 to 5 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 8 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 25 of 479 qualifying general cargo ships by EEOI, at the 5th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 29.4; this vessel reported 11.0.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 318,119,308 tonne-miles over 18,240 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 23.2% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 78.9% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 5.6%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
