PRINCE JOY 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). At 15,732 gross tonnage it is larger than 73% of the other 2,665 general cargo ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 23 general cargo ships here under the San Marino flag, 0.7% of the 3,081 on the register. Its MRV returns name it UNIVERSAL DURBAN for 2018–2019, TRANSOCEAN for 2020–2024 and PRINCE JOY for 2025. The reported port of registry changed: Valetta (2018–2019), then Monrovia (2020–2024), then SAN MARINO (2025).
Its 3,630 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 29% 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 234.6 kg CO₂, 1.9 times the type median of 122.2 kg. It logged 1,620 hours at sea against a median of 3,044 hours for its type that year. 5.5% 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 2022 (5,389 t) and the lowest 2023 (2,004 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 95 in 2018 to 88 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 6 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 5 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 420 of 479 qualifying general cargo ships by EEOI, at the 88th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 29.4; this vessel reported 54.0.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 67,166,512 tonne-miles over 15,478 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 47.2% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 27.1% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 14.1%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
