SAGA EXPLORER against its type
Built in 2006, it is 1 year older than the median general cargo ship on this register, which was built in 2007 (2,852 vessels with a known build year). At 29,758 gross tonnage it is larger than 95% of the other 2,665 general cargo ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 146 general cargo ships here under the Bahamas flag, 4.7% of the 3,081 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 468 other vessels here, 92 of them general cargo ships. The reported port of registry changed: Hong Kong (2018–2023), then NASSAU (2024–2025).
Its 253 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 91% 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 265.1 kg CO₂, 2.2 times the type median of 122.2 kg. It logged 92 hours at sea against a median of 3,044 hours for its type that year. 0.0% 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 (10,665 t) and the lowest 2025 (253 t). Of the 6 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 5 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 96.5% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 92.2% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 2.6%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
